Jared Forrest Golden (born July 25, 1982) is an American politician and a Marine Corps veteran serving as the U.S. Representative for Maine's 2nd congressional district since 2019.

A member of the Democratic Party, his district is the largest by area east of the Mississippi River, encompassing the northern four-fifths of Maine, including the cities of Lewiston, Bangor, and Auburn. Notably, his district was carried by Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, making it a politically competitive area.

Golden, along with Angus King and Chellie Pingree, were the first members of Congress to be elected by ranked-choice voting. He is the only representative to win after initially placing second in the first round of tabulation.[1][2] Golden was also deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as a United States Marine

Early life and education

[edit]

Golden was born in Lewiston, Maine, and raised in Leeds.[3] He attended Leavitt Area High School before enrolling at the University of Maine at Farmington, but left after a year to join the United States Marine Corps in 2002.[4][5]

Golden served with the 3rd Battalion of the 6th Marines, completing two combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He rose to the rank of corporal and received the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for his leadership during Operation Steel Curtain. He left the Marines in 2006.[4][5]

Upon returning to Maine, Golden earned a degree in history and politics from Bates College.[6] He then worked for an international logistics firm before joining the staff of Republican Senator Susan Collins on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.[7][5]

Maine House of Representatives

[edit]

Golden returned to Maine in 2013 to work for the House Democratic Office in the Maine Legislature. As a Democrat, he ran for and was elected to the Maine House of Representatives in 2014, representing part of the city of Lewiston.

Golden was reelected in 2016. In the subsequent legislative session, he became Assistant House Majority Leader.[4] Golden chaired the Elections Committee and the Joint Select Committee on Joint Rules.[8]

Elections

[edit]

2018

[edit]
See also: 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Maine § District 2

On August 24, 2017, Golden announced his candidacy against Bruce Poliquin to serve in the United States House of Representatives for Maine's 2nd congressional district.[4] On June 20, 2018, he was declared the winner of the Democratic primary, defeating environmentalist Lucas St. Clair and bookstore owner Craig Olson.[9]

On election night, Golden trailed Poliquin by 2,000 votes. As neither candidate won a majority, Maine's newly implemented ranked-choice voting system called for the votes of independents Tiffany Bond and William Hoar to be redistributed to Poliquin or Golden in accordance with their voters' second choice. The independents' supporters ranked Golden as their second choice by an overwhelming margin, allowing him to defeat Poliquin by 3,000 votes after the final tabulation.[10] He is the first challenger to unseat an incumbent in the district since 1916.[11]

Poliquin opposed the use of ranked-choice voting in the election and claimed to be the winner due to his first-round lead. He filed a lawsuit in federal court to have ranked-choice voting declared unconstitutional and to have himself declared the winner. Judge Lance E. Walker rejected all of Poliquin's arguments and upheld the certified results.[12] Poliquin appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and requested an order to prevent Golden from being certified as the winner, but the request was rejected.[13] On December 24, Poliquin dropped his lawsuit, allowing Golden to take the seat.[14]

2020

Golden ran for reelection in 2020 and won the Democratic primary unopposed. His Republican opponent was Dale Crafts, a former Maine representative. Most political pundits expected Golden to win the general election easily; polling showed him ahead of Crafts by an average of about 19%, Sabato's Crystal Ball and The Cook Political Report both rating the contest as "Likely Democratic", and analysis website FiveThirtyEight predicted that Golden had a 96 out of 100 chance of winning, with Golden garnering nearly 57% of the vote in their projection of the most likely scenario.[15][16][17][18]

In November, Golden defeated Crafts 53%–47%, a closer margin than expected.[19] President Donald Trump carried the district in that same election.[20]

2022

[edit]
See also: 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Maine § District 2

Golden ran for reelection in 2022 and won the Democratic primary unopposed.[21] He faced former Republican congressman Bruce Poliquin, whom he narrowly beat in 2018, and independent Tiffany Bond, who also ran for the 2nd congressional district seat in 2018. In July, Golden was endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, Maine's largest police union, which "split the ticket" by also endorsing former Republican governor Paul LePage.[22] Polls again showed Golden with a lead,[23] but many organizations rated the seat as a "tossup", as incumbent president Joe Biden was unpopular and inflation was approaching 40-year highs; Decision Desk HQ even gave the seat a "Leans Republican" rating.[24] Nonetheless, Golden led the field in the first round, and defeated Poliquin 53%–47% after Bond's second-choice votes mostly flowed to him.[25]

2024

[edit]

Golden is seeking a fourth term in Congress. He will face Republican state representative Austin Theriault, who was endorsed by Donald Trump.[26]

Tenure

[edit]

Golden was sworn in on January 3, 2019. During the election for speaker of the House, he voted against Democratic Caucus nominee Nancy Pelosi, as he had pledged to do during his campaign, instead casting his vote for Representative Cheri Bustos of Illinois.[27] Golden voted in 2019 for Article I of the articles of impeachment against Donald Trump but was one of three Democrats to vote against Article II.[28]

Golden endorsed Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.[29] As of 2022, he had voted in line with Joe Biden's positions 85.7% of the time, the lowest rate of any Democratic caucus member.[30]

Golden represents the second-most rural district in the United States, with 72% of its population living in rural areas. The district also has the second-highest proportion of non-Hispanic White residents (94%). Only to Kentucky's Kentucky's 5th congressional district exceeds it in the two categories.[31] Additionally, his district was carried by Donald Trump in 2020, the only district in New England to do so.

Political Positions

[edit]

COVID-19 Policy

[edit]

Golden in January 2023 was one of seven Democrats to vote in favor of H.R.497, the Freedom for Health Care Workers Act, which sought to lift COVID-19 vaccine mandates for healthcare workers.[35][36] A day later, he was among 12 Democrats who supported a resolution to end the COVID-19 national emergency.[37][38]

Criminal Justice Reform

[edit]

Golden was one of two Democrats to vote against the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.[39] While he acknowledged the bill had many good provisions, such as creating a national registry for police misconduct, increasing data collection, promoting de-escalation tactics, and banning chokeholds unless deadly force was authorized, he expressed concern over its proposed restrictions on qualified immunity. Golden also criticized the lack of further negotiations since the bill’s initial passage.[40]

Education

[edit]

Golden was one of two House Democrats, alongside Representative Gluesenkamp Perez, to side with Republicans in voting to overturn President Biden's student loan debt cancellation plan of 2023.[41]

Foreign Policy

[edit]

During the Russo-Ukrainian War, Golden organized a letter signed by several members of Congress, urging President Biden to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.[42] In the Israel–Hamas war Golden opposed calls for a ceasefire[43] and voted in favor of providing $14.3 billion in additional funding to support Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip at the start of the war.[44]

Guns

[edit]

Jared Golden was the only Democrat to oppose the Bipartisan Background Checks Act which aimed to expand background checks for gun purchases. He was also one of two Democrats, along with Ron Kind of Wisconsin, to vote against the Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021, which sought to close the Charleston loophole. Both bills passed the House in March 2021.[45]

In 2022, Golden and Kurt Schrader of Oregon were the only Democrats to vote against raising the minimum age for purchasing semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21.[46] Later that year, Golden joined four other Democrats and Republicans in voting against a bill that proposed banning assault weapons.[47]

However, after the 2023 Lewiston shootings in his hometown, where 18 people were killed, Golden changed his stance. He apologized and called for a federal ban on assault weapons.[48] He stated in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, "I really believe that any law-abiding and competent citizen should have fairly easy access to firearms." However, the shooting raised questions for him, and he stated "Am I going to start carrying an AR-15 slung over my shoulder when I go to the grocery store, when I go to a restaurant?" He noted that the odds of being in the right place to stop an active shooter were slim. "And what responsibilities do I have as a leader of the community?"[49]

Immigration

[edit]

Jared Golden voted in against the 2024 Equal Representation Act, which proposed excluding noncitizens ineligible to vote from the population count used to determine the number of U.S. representatives for each state.[50]

Infrastructure

[edit]

Golden was the lone House Democrat to vote against the Build Back Better Act, citing concerns about the elimination of the $10,000 cap on the SALT deduction and the lack of prescription drug pricing reform.[51] However, He later joined all other Democrats in voting for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, an amended version of the original bill.[52]

LGBT Rights

[edit]

Golden voted in 2022 for the Respect for Marriage Act, which repealed the Defense of Marriage Act and federally protected same-sex and interracial marriages.[53] He was one of four Democrats to join with the majority of House Republicans to pass the annual defense policy bill, which included provisions barring Pentagon funding for abortion and transgender surgeries.[54]

Marijuana Policy

[edit]

Jared Golden has received an "A" rating from the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) for his voting record on cannabis-related legislation.[55]

Trade

[edit]

Golden was one of 38 Democrats to vote against the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement Implementation Act.[56] He expressed concern that the law's labeling requirements would not prevent international companies from misbranding products, potentially harming Maine businesses. Golden also voiced skepticism about enforcement, citing the U.S.'s poor track record with previous trade agreements in protecting workers.[57]

Personal Life

[edit]

Golden’s wife, Isobel (née Moiles), served as a Lewiston city councilor from 2016 to 2018.[58][59] They have two daughters.[60] Golden also has several tattoos from his time in the military, including a Celtic cross on his forearm and a "devil dog" which represents his Marine unit.[61][62]
