I write with the good news that voters have an excellent candidate for Congress in Jared Golden. He stands for all that is dear to Mainers in a time of dispiriting meanness, self-interest and corruption.
Bruce Poliquin has hidden and ducked out of opportunities to connect with the public for years; Golden will listen and unite.
Unlike his rival, he does not have a war chest filled by lobbyists and funders whose every move gives advantages to the super-wealthy. Golden has earned the public’s trust and support through service both to country, as a veteran, and to the state, as an honored leader in the Maine House.
Golden is an easy and optimistic name to remember. I hope the people of Maine will do so this fall.
