Rep. Jared Golden, the Maine Democrat who has won a district that delivered its Electoral College vote to President Donald Trump, is running for reelection.
Golden announced Tuesday that he would be running for reelection instead of seeking a statewide office, saying in a statement that “the surest way to restore balance in Washington is for Democrats to win back the House of Representatives.”
“While the election is still 18 months away and I remain focused on my responsibilities to my constituents and my family, I also know the path to the majority runs through Maine,” Golden said. “And I am going to do what it takes to make sure no one like Paul LePage blusters his way into Congress.”
