The new website, AboutRickBennett.com, lays out Bennett’s voting history in detail, including his record on tax increases, budget growth, and the policies that have coincided with rising crime and falling educational outcomes across the state. The site also highlights that Bennett has refused to reject contributions from Augusta lobbyists, raising questions about who he’s really fighting for in Augusta.

“If you’re a Maine Democrat looking for a candidate with a long, proven record as a career Augusta Democrat, somebody who will raise your taxes, increase the size of the budget, and flood our streets with needles, crime, and falling educational outcomes, look no further than State Senator and consummate Augusta insider Rick Bennett,” said Bobby Charles. “Mainers deserve better than another career politician protecting the same broken status quo.”

The campaign is encouraging supporters to visit AboutRickBennett.com to view Bennett’s full voting record and share the video across social media.
