POLITICAL RECORD

A Democrat Until It Was Convenient

Ben Midgley wasn't always a Republican. For nearly three decades, he was a registered Democrat in California — the same California pushing the agenda Maine conservatives are fighting against. He switched parties in 2015. Not because he changed. Because he wanted to run for office.

1988 – 2015
Registered Democrat — California
// 27 years.
2015
Party Switch
// Reason: Political convenience.
2026
Running as a "Republican" in Maine
// The label changed. The values didn't.

Maine doesn't need California's leftovers.

BUSINESS RECORD

What He Built at Crunch Fitness

As CEO of Crunch Fitness, Ben Midgley didn't just run a gym. He ran a platform for the woke agenda — on your membership dime.

// EXHIBIT B-1

BLM

Crunch Fitness promoted Black Lives Matter on its official social media channels under Midgley's leadership as CEO.

// EXHIBIT B-2

WOMEN'S SPACES

Under Midgley's "inclusion" policies, biological men were permitted access to women's locker rooms and bathrooms at Crunch Fitness locations.

// EXHIBIT B-3

DRAG & PRIDE

Crunch Fitness openly hosted and promoted drag queen events and gay pride celebrations at its locations under Midgley's watch.

This is what Ben Midgley calls leadership.
Maine calls it a problem.

ON THE RECORD

Every Other Candidate Said Yes.
Ben Midgley Wouldn't.

At a Republican primary debate, every candidate was asked to commit to a pro-life position.

Every candidate answered.

Ben Midgley was the only one who refused.

"Every Republican candidate went pro-life on the record.
Ben Midgley went silent."

Maine conservatives deserve a candidate who will say it out loud.

ESTABLISHMENT

Same Old Augusta.
Different Name.

Ben Midgley isn't an outsider shaking up the establishment. He is the establishment — the Augusta insiders, the weak liberals, the political class that's been disconnecting Maine from its own values for years.

Bobby Charles isn't part of that machine. He's the only candidate running to dismantle it.
