Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itBennett asserts his opponent's business is based in Washington DC rather than Maine — a specific, verifiable claim about a candidate's professional background that could mislead voters.
What we foundThe claim that Charles's business is a Washington, D.C. enterprise is well-supported, but the claim that he has not worked as a business person in Maine overstates the case given his Maine residency and the absence of evidence about his firm's geographic scope of operations.
