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

While I've spent this campaign taking the fight directly to the Democrats—debating Troy Jackson, challenging COVID czar Nirav Shah, and holding Janet Mills and Deqa Dhalac accountable for corruption—tonight, a group of Augusta insiders with the help of the Janet Mills funded fake news media, chose to attack me instead. That says everything.  

The reality is simple. I'm the outsider in this race, and I'm winning. That makes the insiders nervous.  

• Jonathan Bush has aligned himself with anti-Trump efforts, including financially supporting groups that worked against President Trump such as the Lincoln Project. That's not where Maine Republican voters are and it's not where I stand.  

• Garrett Mason built his career as an Augusta insider, supporting tax increases and opposing Paul LePage. He's part of the system that created the problems we're trying to fix, not the solution. He sided with Somali-first politicians to recently vote against public safety funding in Lewiston.  

• Ben Midgley spent decades as a California Democrat before switching parties when it became politically convenient. His record and business messaging have consistently aligned with left-wing causes, not Maine conservative values. He supported DEI, woke, trans, and BLM. You can Google it for yourselves as it's still live on Instagram.  

Voters can look all of that up for themselves. I'm not running to protect the system. I'm running to fix it. I'm running to cut crime, cut taxes, and end the corruption that's hurting Maine families.  

And the people of Maine are responding. We're leading this race by a wide margin because thousands of grassroots donors and voters are ready for real change. I've spent 13 months talking directly with thousands of Mainers in their neighborhoods, living rooms, farms, and social media.  

I've spent my career as a crime-fighter, a Naval intelligence officer, and a federal investigator. I know how to take on corruption and I will. If the insiders want to attack me, that's fine. I'll keep fighting for the people of Maine.  

We're going to win on June 9th and in November. Join us at BobbyforMaine.com.
