LEEDS, ME: Today, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, one of the most consequential political leaders of our time, threw his full weight behind Bobby Charles for Governor of Maine. Gingrich, a renowned strategist who knows what it takes to win big elections, declared Charles the clear choice to crush crime, and deliver historic tax relief to hardworking Mainers who are being pushed to the brink by the failing liberal establishment in Augusta.
"Winning is not just an option for Maine, it is a necessity, and Bobby Charles is a proven crime-fighter who can beat the corrupt Augusta cabal," said former Speaker Newt Gingrich. "I’ve known Bobby for years and watched him take on cartels and criminal organizations, and he is bringing that same grit to the Pine Tree State. The era of weak Republicanism is over. Maine needs a Governor who will clean up our streets, shut down the pro-criminal agenda of the elites, and return power to the people. Bobby has the kind of strength we see from President Trump, he is the only candidate who will truly win the fight to restore law and order and make Maine a state where families can thrive."
Gingrich emphasized that while the corrupt Augusta Democrat establishment has tried to hold Maine back with high taxes and soft-on-crime policies, Bobby Charles represents a new chapter of strength and results.
"Janet Mills and the establishment have turned Maine into a playground for the far-left, but the cavalry is coming with a leader who knows how to win," Gingrich continued. "Bobby Charles has the toughness to end the flow of poison into Maine communities by taking on the Chinese grow houses and finally ending the drug epidemic. He will deliver the massive, permanent tax cuts Mainers deserve. We are going to turn Maine red and put an end to the corrupt establishment."
"I am incredibly honored to have the endorsement of a conservative legend like Newt Gingrich, who knows exactly what it takes to defeat the swamp and lead a winning ticket," said Bobby Charles. "Newt understands that this campaign is about taking our state back right now. We are running the corrupt elites out of town, securing our borders, and putting Maine families and their wallets first."
