I recently decided a man who used to earn a living going around and around in circles and another who wanted, but didn’t get, a “blessing” from a crook, were not people I wanted to represent me in Congress. Disgusted, I withdrew my membership from the Republican Party. I’ve voted for you each time since you began running. I’ll continue to do,so. Thank you for representing Maine the way it should be.

Unfortunately we are left pondering the obvious incompetence of our President - you are aware of this? I hate to spoil your holiday with such a trivial matter.

Please get behind and stay behind our President Joe Biden, he said he can win this election and I believe him! The polls have been wrong before in the past twenty years. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are our best chance for leading the country in the next term, there is no other team that can do that. And for the dems to deliberate over this "decision", is taking a fire hose to the shredded hope that our country's democracy will prevail after the damage the republicans did to our White House, our congress, our court's, our national security, our constitution and our very democracy. This is no time for fault finding and falling on our sword for the sake of "transparency", get over the pearl clutching and self sabotage. These are hugely troubling times and the solution may be less than perfect, but what we do have in our President and Vice President are excellent representation for this country. Don't sell the American people short on our decision to know who the best candidates are and vote. Just because MAGA has a big mouth doesn't mean they will prevail, but we need all the dems and smart republicans to vote for Joe and Kamala; so get behind them Jared.

I was amazed that you said you were ok with Donald Trump as our President. Granted, Joe Biden has faults. Trump only cares about himself, not the people, no matter what he says. I have worked hard to keep you in Congress. Please don't let me, or our country down. Thank you, Steve in Jonesboro.

I supported you in all past elections... But that you would state that you are all right with a 34 count felon, who's an adulterer several times over, a convicted rapist, a tax cheat, an employee cheating employer, n environmental disaster, and a security risk, winning the Presidential election when he is clearly not only not fit, but intending to turn our democracy into an autocracy, means I cannot vote for you again.

Please take time to enjoy your children while they are young. Too soon they will be wanting to do their own thing, which is wonderful but sometimes a little hurtful because they don't need you as much. Have a great summer. Thank you for naming your child, Shirley, there aren't many of us around. Shirley.

We lived in Maine & now here part time. Jared is our Congressman though we don’t live in his district. Independent minded & serving the needs of his constituents while upholding American values. If we had 434 other like him, we’d be in great shape as a country! Thanks Jared for your continued service.

I would really like to know how a man who has 34 felony counts against him is even allowed to run for President? If I was in that situation while I was teaching school, not only would I be fired, but any

chance of teaching again would be taken away, and I would be in jail! They all say no one is above the law,but apparently that’s not true. I really would like an answer.

Thank you, Mary-Sue Hayden
