You need to exercise leadership and explain how legislation enacted by Democrats will make housing more affordable, reduce crime by more than warehousing criminals and provide infrastructure critical to Maine’s rural economies. Everyone in the Second District knows we don’t have enough workers to sustain our communities. We need more skilled labor whether it comes from southern states or from South America. The failed Trump policy of imposing tariffs and scare tactics concerning the border will only make life more difficult for Mainers.
I do not always agree with your voting record and am concerned you seem to be reticent to endorse Kamala Harris, however, I very much appreciate the work you do on behalf of the citizens of Maine. It seems you haven't, as yet, been affected by the disease that infects all good intentioned politicians and that is avarice, greed and ignoring your constituency. Keep up the good work but, and I most likely do not have to remind you, this country cannot endure another 4 years of the most unqualified person to ever hold the office of the President. Please do the right thing and help take back our country from the brink.
Jared stated in his Bangor Daily op-ed that he does NOT see rump as a threat to our democracy and that such language is mere hyperbole (see "Donald Trump is going to win. And I’m OK with that.”) He stated that the economy is the biggest issue. He follows the "economist" Robert Leitheiser (check him out!) and rejects the concerns all of the Nobel prize winning economists. Jared is completely naive and incredibly arrogant. (And I helped get him elected his first term.
Thank you for the additional information. I was not aware of Jared actually saying he doesn't believe such a despicable human isn't a threat to our democracy.
I appreciate some of the work you do, but I think you should just go ahead and call yourself a republican so that we can actually get a Democrat in—- your refusal to endorse Kamala Harris is a slap in the face, a punch in the gut to loyal democrats, especially in such a pivotal year.
Jared, you promised Indivisible Bangor, whose members helped get you elected when you were running against Poloquin, that you would hold regular town meetings in the Bangor area. You have not. What is your reason for not doing so your most recent August recess?
I have been asking to get tickets for the White House tour at Christmas but have gotten no answer. I understand you are busy doing your job this newsletter shows that. Keep up the good work. Good luck in November.
Great work Jared and great update on your travels and conversations. I think it’s the way to get through to everyday people who can exist in a groupthink vacuum of myth and misinformation. I hope that meeting you - a decent person with good intentions - translates to victory in November😊
While I am not a full time Maine resident, I have been coming to ME for +55 years. I am impressed Jared with your practical approach to issues concerning your constituents and admire your ability not to focus on partisan politics. Good luck in your re-election bid in November.
Jared, thank you for continuing to represent the needs of Mainers, for working collaboratively with your colleagues so that things get done, and for remaining principled. Every time I pass the Jared Golden sign on the lawn on Main St in town, I'm grateful for your continued service.
Jared,
You need to exercise leadership and explain how legislation enacted by Democrats will make housing more affordable, reduce crime by more than warehousing criminals and provide infrastructure critical to Maine’s rural economies.

If it keeps a Democrat in this heavy Trump district, I'm okay with Golden staying out of presidential politics.
I sure do appreciate your effort to end WEP!

Jared Golden is the type of congressman who works for & represents his constituents. So wish that we had 434 others just like him.
My family goes back aways. Your conscience works. Keep it up
Excellent update Congressman. Thank you.
