It's always nice to encounter a politician who didn't fail english in high school. I don't always agree with your positions (like taking money from AIPAC) but I respect the integrity you project in your posts and enjoy the clarity of your posts themselves.

Thank you for the balance you bring to your work and for your ability to articulate so clearly the challenges inherent in being in congress. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Representative, this one of the best piece I've read about the election. Thank you. The predominance of ego coming from the new administration is little more than verification of what we knew was going to happen. Better to work on issues that matter than giving time to revenge.

I love how down-to-earth and hardworking Jared Golden is; and, of course, intelligent. I have never liked the time spent in endless meetings, but would rather just get down to the job at hand. Keep up the terrific work, Jared. I appreciate you.

When I was first elected selectman in a small town my predecessor advised: "Never appoint someone to a position who wants it. They have an agenda. Seek out someone who isn't looking and who has good judgment." I feel like Jared is pretty close to that. He could walk away from this any time he wanted to. That frees you up.

Congratulations on your re-election!

A productive Maine is possible when all Mainers are healthy and well-supported. Would you focus attention on preserving affordable health care for all, including home and community supports funded through Medicaid? Will you work towards shoring up “vanilla”Medicare, as “Advantage” Medicare ends up being insufficient for beneficiaries as their support needs increase?

Thank you.

this is why I've voted for you each time you've run. I'm more liberal than you, probably, but you are doing a fine job! Thanks

Truth is hard to accept by all of us, but if we don't then our present and future will become something that is very fake.

What you are saying is so true. I don't always agree with you but I see that work ethic my parents taught me and my siblings. Whatever we do should be done the best we can.

May those who work for the people of Maine and our nation in whatever political role remember they are in their position not for themselves but for the people that placed them in their office.

Self-centeredness has no place by any politician. They vote and work for the people of America and choose what the people desire. Represent us. Please!
