In the most recent quarter, Lewiston Democrat Jared Golden raised five times as much money for his 2nd Congressional District race as the Republican incumbent he hopes to defeat. Golden brought in $2.7 million compared to $538,000 for U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin, who has represented the sprawling district since 2014. Calling it an […]

Not since Ed Muskie and Bill Cohen have Maine voters had the unique opportunity to send a candidate to Washington, D.C., with the integrity and leadership qualities of Jared Golden. Golden is hard-working, down-to-Earth and a true Mainer, wishing to serve every citizen in the state of Maine. He knows the needs of Maine’s people […]

Golden rates F- on taxpayer support
I’m confused. Is Jared Golden running for Congress or commandant of the Marine Corps? Former Democrat, now Republican, Sen. Tom Saviello joyfully related how Golden works across the aisle.

On Election Day, I will be supporting Jared Golden and Janet Mills. Golden is honest — a straight-shooter and likable. He has earned a great deal of respect by crossing party lines and, through teamwork, getting the job done — working with Gov. LePage toward securing veterans’ housing proves that. He is not against gun […]

Fortunately, we have Jared Golden
A pro-Trump, out-of-state PAC has pledged $1 million to help Bruce Poliquin be re-elected to Congress. What may sound strange is that Poliquin has never publicly endorsed Trump. However, to many who have tried to meet with Poliquin, or get a response on important issues, this is not a surprise. He refuses to publicly take […]
