Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) announces his retirement from Congress in 2026 citing increasing political violence, threats to his family, and deteriorating congressional civility. The moderate Democrat represents Maine's 2nd District, the most Republican-leaning seat held by any House Democrat, making his retirement a significant blow to Democratic efforts to reclaim House control next year.

Well, one thing I don't have to worry about is #ChelliePingree, since she voted against #BigUglyBill the first time around. And so did #JaredGolden... But I would maybe make sure of that if I lived in #Maine's 2nd congressional district.

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:salokypqtf26a547u2rxpx7a/post/3lmixidymk22d
And here we are. The #SaveAct has passed. The 4 house Democrats that voted for are #JaredGolden, #MarieGluesenkamp #PerezHenryCuellar and #EdCase. They voted in support. And against #Democracy.
Sorry, #JaredGolden:
All your reasons are bullshit. GQP had enough votes for the CR without yours. You're just a #stooge and a #traitor.

@indivisibleteam "Just one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the measure. And just one Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted for it."
All right Mainers, if Jared Golden is your rep, let him know that you think he's a traitor.

#HR9495 passed in the House with a 219-184 final vote.
"This includes 15 Democratic representatives who voted against the party in favor: Allred (TX) Caraveo (CO) Case (HI) Cuellar (TX) Davis (NC) Golden (ME) Gonzalez (TX) Lee (NV) Moskowitz (FL) Panetta (CA) Perez (WA) Schneider (IL) Suozzi (NY) Torres (CA) Wasserman Schultz (FL)."

Looks like #Maine's #JaredGolden voted along Republican lines on #HR9495. As to why Golden identifies as a member of the Democratic Party is beyond me!
#JaredGolden has been declared the winner in #Maine. All those in #Maines2ndDistrict need to pester him about #HR9495!
Oh boy... Some folks in #Maine are rethinking #RCV already. It seems one of my Green Independent friends triggered RCV, which led to a Republican getting elected to a state senate seat. And #JaredGolden is about to face an RCV runoff as well, which could mean another Republican for the #USHouse. Ugh...
Well that didn't take long. Our #HarrisWalz sign hadn't been up a week before getting tagged by #maga vandals here in #maine
That motivated me to donate again to Harris, #jaredgolden and #mainedemocrats
This is too close, donate or volunteer or both: https://www.mobilize.us/MaineDems/
@rightardia Are you advocating that we let #maine 's Second District go MAGA and give #mikejohnson another vote for Speaker next year?
That's a very red part of our state and #jaredgolden has successfully defeated Republicans there twice at the state level and three times for that House seat.
