Bobby Charles has received lobbyist money. But he’s trying to make an ‘Augusta’ distinction.

The Maine Democratic Party says Charles reported 46 contributions above the legal limit, while campaign finance records show more than $13,000 from lobbyists and their families.

Charles has taken criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for his lobbying work in D.C. over the years. He argues he is the only gubernatorial candidate not accepting money from 'Augusta lobbyists,' but his opponents have dismissed that as performative.
