Bobby Charles Responds to Angus King III Joining the Race

Buzz Aldrin Endorses Bobby Charles for Governor of Maine

“I’ve seen what pressure demands. Bobby Charles has what it takes.”

Maine does not need another woke anti-police Democrat who will champion the failed economic policies of Janet Mills in this election. Let me be clear: Maine Does Not Need Another King and Maine Can’t Afford More Woke Democrats! My message is simple: Cut Crime. Cut Taxes. No Nonsense. I will put Mainers first, not the elite agendas.

This isn’t just about one candidate — it’s about an entire field of elitist liberals who’ve wrecked our state. From record overdoses to skyrocketing living costs, Maine is suffering under their watch. Fentanyl is now linked to 3 out of 4 overdose deaths, and crime is rising fast — with police saying 90% of crimes are tied to drugs. Out-of-state traffickers are turning Maine into a distribution hub, and Democrats in Augusta are blocking the very laws that would stop them. Meanwhile, working Mainers are being crushed by the cost of housing, fuel, groceries, and heating oil — all made worse by green energy mandates and tax hikes. We now rank 4th in the nation for tax burden and 80% of Maine households can’t even afford the average home. That’s not progress — that’s a crisis.

The entire Democrat field lining up for governor – whether it’s Angus King III, Shenna Bellows or some other Democrat – all of them support policies that will continue to leave Mainers without jobs, economic hope, or safe streets. Mainers first, not political dynasties or radical agendas. While Augusta liberals cater to climate extremists and social activists, our loggers, lobstermen, farmers, truckers, and small business owners are getting left behind.

I’ve fought cartels at the federal level as a crime-fighter and served my country as a Naval Intelligence Officer — and I’ll do the same here at home. Zero tolerance for drug dealers and gangs. I’ll slash taxes, restore affordability, protect our industries, and defend law enforcement.

Maine is my home. I won’t sit by while elitist Democrats destroy it. If you’re ready to take our state back — for our families, our jobs, and our future — then join me. Let’s rebuild a Maine that works for the people who make it run.

Cut Crime. Cut Taxes. No Nonsense.
