MEET BOBBY
a maine man.
fighting for maine.
I’m Bobby Charles, and I’m running for Governor of Maine because I believe we can do better—safer streets, lower taxes, stronger schools, and a government that works for you, not against you.
I grew up in Wayne, Maine. My mother was a public school teacher. From her—and from the World War II veterans who mentored me—I learned about sacrifice, service, and what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself. Those values carried me from Maranacook High School to Dartmouth, Oxford, and Columbia Law—not to leave Maine behind, but to return better prepared to serve it.
maine is
broken
let’s fix it
CUT Crime
CUT taxes
no nonsense
bOBby Charles on the issues
Bobby Charles is committed to building a safer, stronger Maine. As governor, he will fight to reduce crime, enforce common-sense policies on homelessness, cut burdensome taxes, and hold government accountable. He believes in protecting Maine’s communities, improving education, and ensuring economic opportunities for every hardworking citizen. Bobby Charles will always put Maine families first.
bobby’s plan for maine
Maine is at a crossroads. Families are struggling under the weight of high costs, rising crime, and a government more focused on ideology than results. Bobby Charles is running to restore common sense, protect our communities, and put Maine families first. His plan is straightforward: cut taxes, stop the drug crisis, improve education, and stand up for the values that make our state strong.
cut crime
Maine is being overrun by drug cartels, and radical policy failures from Democratic leadership have enabled this crisis.
cut taxes
Bobby Charles will reverse the heavy burden that businesses and working families face under high taxes and excessive regulations.
no nonsense
Far too many government policies have been hijacked by ideological agendas that harm parents, children, and communities.
