Bobby Charles Statement on Disgraced Governor Janet Mills leaving the Maine Senate Race

LEEDS, ME — Following reports that Governor Janet Mills has dropped her bid for the United States Senate, Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert “Bobby” Charles issued the following statement:

“Janet Mills isn’t stepping aside because things are going well—she’s stepping aside because her record caught up with her,” said Charles. “After years of failed leadership, rising costs, and declining public trust, the people of Maine were ready to hold her accountable.”

Under Janet Mills’ leadership, Maine has faced a series of serious challenges and controversies:

• Oversight failures and questions surrounding no-bid contracts and insider deals
• The Deqa Dhlac Gateway controversy, raising concerns about transparency and priorities in state government
• A pattern of payoffs with legacy media that limited accountability and scrutiny
• Higher taxes and skyrocketing costs of living for Maine families and seniors
• Declining education outcomes, with Maine falling behind nationally
• Rising public safety concerns in communities like Bangor and across the state
• Failure to adequately confront drug trafficking, including organized Chinese grow houses
• A governing agenda increasingly driven by far-left political priorities and pandering to the trans lobby rather than practical solutions

“Mainers have watched their state become less affordable, less safe, and less accountable under Janet Mills,” Charles continued. “You can’t spend years ignoring real problems, pandering to political extremes, and expect voters to reward you with another job.”

“Maine deserves better. We deserve leadership that will cut crime, cut taxes, restore accountability, and put Maine people first again.”
