Keep up with the latest on Bobby Charles' run for Governor. From rising crime to Janet Mills' unaffordable taxes and fees, we're keeping up with it all.
Trump knows what he is doing. Slashing bureaucracy restores honesty. Half my life has been slashing bureaucracy, understanding their tricks, how they feel entitled, break the rules, normalize rule-breaking, and block accountability. From Reagan’s White House to oversight investigator for Gingrich, litigator to dismantler, I know all their tricks. In Maine, it is worse.
The Katahdin Circle isn’t just another donor club but it's the lifeline of this campaign. When you make a monthly commitment, you’re not just giving money.
Running for Governor, I am learning…involves striving to see things rightly, taking advice warmly given and criticism holding ground, while also considering the critic’s point. While I have long done this, running for office notches things up.
Outrageous article claims "Maine is Safe," downplays alarming danger Mainers face on a daily basis, criticizes my intention to rid the state of organized crime and illicit drug and human trafficking operations.
Bottom line: Maine is in crisis, the throes of multiple crises, from a feckless, ideologically lost governor and legislature spending, taxing, and slowly bankrupting Maine families, to the spiraling drug overdoses and drug crime, radiating circles of public insecurity and distrust.
Blue States are sinking. This is not Norman Rockwell’s America. Democrat-dominated Maine is becoming inner city Chicago, or DC, or Philly. Not a surprise, given Democrat polices, it must stop. It will be in 2027, but sooner is needed. Public pressure helps.

August 18th, 2025. Enough is enough. Another American was tragically killed today by an illegal alien. This should never have happened.
Schools nationwide, especially in Maine, are in critical trouble – on measures of accountability, outcomes (NAEP results), curricula (life skills), teacher pay and morale, industrial arts, administrative cost, and other indicia.
The national ACLU and Maine ACLU are making another crazy argument, imagine that? They have literally, on film and in writing, begun to argue that “illegal aliens” are not “illegal,” and so they should not be apprehended by ICE or any State government, nor deported. Really?
God’s plan for each of us is mysterious, and the more quiet among us – not those perpetually quiet, but capable of quiet – know that, as you look back on life, you begin to see God’s hand in everything.
Having spent the better part of a week along Maine’s 611-mile Northern Border, connecting with law enforcement near crossings, my essential readout is that deterrence matters, law enforcement needs our support, officers seldom complain, but without their courage and commitment, we would be overrun.
How do we get back on track when the world throws us off track? I have an idea, and because you are reading this, it may work for you. Just read. Not news, gossip, or text messages. Just pick up a good book, find a corner with light, grab something to sip or nibble, and disappear into it. It works.
Bottom line: Lewiston needs help, focus, dramatic federal and state support, a makeover based on real consequences, hard targets, more law enforcement resources, accountable and effective treatment, and realistic infrastructure. Ugly trends do not reverse themselves; they require leadership. Maine badly needs help.
Imagine a freedom clock. Putting freedom at high noon, you have a constitutional republic, the greatest liberty for one consistent with the greatest for all. Put no freedom at the bottom, six o’clock. Go left to communism or right to fascism, you meet at the bottom, with no freedom. America is at high noon.
Bobby Charles is fighting for the future of Maine—protecting our communities, defending parental rights, and standing up for hardworking families. Your support fuels this movement.
