Maine Education Association Endorses Hannah Pingree for Governor.

Bobby grew up in Wayne, Maine, where his mother was a public school teacher. From her—and from the World War II veterans who mentored him—he learned about sacrifice, service, and what it means to be part of something bigger than yourself. Those values carried him from Maranacook High School to Dartmouth, Oxford, and Columbia Law—not to leave Maine behind, but to return better prepared to serve it. He has spent his life protecting our nation and serving our communities. Bobby’s public service began in the Reagan White House. He led global counter-narcotics operations, worked with allies to dismantle global drug cartels, and helped secure America’s borders from lethal threats. Bobby Charles is committed to building a safer, stronger Maine. As governor, he will fight to reduce crime, enforce common-sense policies on homelessness, cut burdensome taxes, and hold government accountable. He believes in protecting Maine’s communities, improving education, and ensuring economic opportunities for every hardworking citizen. Bobby Charles will always put Maine families first.

The member-led board of directors of Maine People’s Alliance has voted to endorse Hannah Pingree for governor. Hannah’s a leader whose work at every level of government shows she’s deeply committed to fighting for the future Mainers deserve. While the Trump administration gives tax breaks to billionaires, we need a governor who will fight to make healthcare, childcare and housing affordable for Maine families. Hannah has made those issues a cornerstone of her campaign.

Endorsement announced July 28, 2026.
