"I have never loved politics, Golden wrote in an op-ed for The Bangor Daily News. But I find purpose and meaning in service, and the Marine in me has been able to slog along through the many aspects of politics I dislike by focusing on the good work that Congress is capable of producing with patience and determination."
"Golden has held office in Maine's 2nd district since 2019, and he's now facing a primary challenge from the left as well as a challenge from former Republican Maine Governor Paul LePage. The district Golden is in has been won by Trump three times."
Rep. Jared Golden will not seek reelection, creating an open contest in Maine's 2nd Congressional District. Golden said he never loved politics but found purpose and meaning in service, and that his Marine background helped him endure aspects of politics he dislikes by focusing on congressional accomplishments achieved with patience and determination. Golden has represented the district since 2019. He faces a primary challenge from the left and a general election challenge from former Republican governor Paul LePage. The district has favored President Donald Trump in three elections, increasing Republican prospects for flipping the seat.
