Robert “Bobby” Charles wins the Republican nomination for Maine governor. The Maine GOP is putting forward a candidate who has consistently backed Donald Trump’s harmful agenda — one that has stripped healthcare from tens of thousands of Mainers, slashed food assistance, raised energy costs, and pushed extreme anti-abortion policies.
“Bobby Charles is an extremist who has shown no regard for the well-being of Maine families,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Tiffiany Vaughn. “He defended Trump’s gutting of Medicaid and Medicare, supported the largest cuts to food aid in history, and pushed policies that drive up costs for hard-working Mainers. His record shows he prioritizes the wealthy and powerful over the everyday people of Maine.”
Charles’ campaign is built on embracing the destructive policies that have already hurt Maine communities and families, including:
- Backing Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” projected to leave tens of thousands of Mainers without access to healthcare
- Supporting $500 billion in Medicare cuts, harming senior citizens
- Endorsing the largest SNAP cuts in history, cutting food aid for over 78,000 Maine households
- Praising DOGE, which slashed funding for nonprofits and Social Security services, and supported a DOGE for Maine
- Promoting false election fraud claims and backing voter restrictions overwhelmingly rejected by Maine voters
- Advocating for closing Maine’s northern border and replicating Florida’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” detention camp
- Pushing an extreme anti-abortion agenda, including ending public funding for abortion and restricting reproductive healthcare access
Bobby Charles is all wrong for Maine. His support for Trump’s harmful agenda threatens healthcare, raises costs, and pushes extreme, out-of-touch policies that Mainers overwhelmingly reject. Maine deserves better than Bobby Charles.
