Pregnancy and childbirth are normal. So insurance should treat it like any other essential care and fully cover it. My new bipartisan bill would eliminate cost-sharing for maternity care — making it easier for Mainers to start and grow their families without fear of huge medical bills or debt.

Foreign money shouldn't be able to crowd out the voices of Americans in state and local elections, but that’s exactly what current campaign finance laws allow. My bipartisan bill with Rep. Fitzpatrick would make Maine's ban on foreign donations to ballot initiatives the law of the land.

Prior generations ensured the federal lands managed by the National Park Service were protected for us. Now it’s our turn to step up. I'm backing the Save our Parks Act to reinstate any National Park employees targeted by recent mass layoffs — and to maintain an adequate workforce moving forward.

I'm glad the President's recent executive order acknowledged how Maine lobstermen have been under siege against federal mismanagement, namely by the use of incomplete and biased studies to justify catastrophic regulations. Better rulemaking requires working with — not against — fishermen.

Since the founding of our country, more than a million brave men and women have sacrificed their lives to defend the idea of America. I’m spending today thinking about them — as well as the principles they believed in so deeply.

The GOP can't secure the votes to take away health care from millions & cut taxes for the rich. So they’re looking to win over members from rich states by raising the SALT cap. The biggest winner? The top 1%. Instead of making the bill better, they’re just making it worse.

Arbitrary time limits shouldn't cost Gold Star spouses their survivor benefits, but I've been told directly by Mainers that's exactly what's happening. So I've written a bipartisan bill to ensure the government lives up to its responsibility to get Gold Star families the full help they deserve.

If the GOP takes health care away from millions of Americans, they should have to reckon with the fallout. Accountability requires data, so I've introduced an amendment to collect hard figures on how many lose coverage, see health outcomes decline or even die if the GOP's plans become law.

Rural hospitals are struggling to stay afloat as is: I’m completely opposed to the House GOP’s proposed changes to Medicaid that could hurt hospitals even further.

Air Force One is host to some of the most sensitive conversations in our government. This jet poses the risk of foreign surveillance and influence at the highest level of our government, to say nothing of the propriety of accepting it. 1/2

Each day Congress ignores our soaring national debt, the future of Social Security and Medicare is put at greater risk. The House GOP’s reconciliation plan could add more than $6 trillion to the national debt — a reckless move when we should be shrinking deficits, not growing them.

1611834 118

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 16/05/2025

Congress doesn’t need to take health care away from seniors to fix the national debt — let’s start by ending tax breaks for large, multinational corporations that ship jobs overseas. The House GOP’s reconciliation plan is full of the wrong priorities.

SNAP helps put food on the table for one in five Maine kids. Many of them are at risk of losing those meals under the GOP’s proposed changes to the way SNAP is funded. Congress should protect their access to food, not limit it.

166924 69

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 14/05/2025

With the highest median age in the country, Maine stands a lot to lose from the House GOP’s proposed changes to Medicaid. Gutting senior care to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest households and corporations is always a bad idea.

If you’re someone who works on the water, the Coast Guard wants your feedback on proposed changes to navigational aids. See below for more info on how to submit your comment:

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 09/05/2025

Hundreds of thousands of Mainers rely on SNAP + Medicaid to afford groceries & health care. So I’m working to force a vote on the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act — a bill blocking cuts to either program in the reconciliation process as the GOP looks for ways to fund tax cuts for the rich.

Thanks Maine Maritime Academy for the invitation to help honor the Class of 2025. People often talk about the leaders of tomorrow, but I got to meet a group of young people — full of talent, ambition, and clear pursuit of purpose — ready to make their mark on the world today.

Thanks to @iamunion.bsky.social for the warm welcome at your Legislative Conference yesterday. Whether we’re protecting the right to organize, standing up for American shipbuilders, or supporting the first modern lobstermen’s union in Maine, I’m always proud to stand with the Machinists!

It was an honor to speak with the selfless folks at the Disabled American Veterans Conference. I’ve seen their dogged advocacy for others firsthand, and am grateful for this organization's commitment to helping veterans heal, readjust to civilian life, and get whatever else they need.

By allowing independents to vote in primaries, Maine has ensured that all citizens can have their voices heard throughout the entire political process. The Let America Vote Act will bring this victory for democracy to the entire country.

From my family to yours, Happy Easter. Enjoy time with your loved ones today.

🧵 I appreciate the President's willingness to address the longstanding mismanagement of America's fisheries. Today's executive order covers the exact points I wrote to the administration about last week — and have been fighting to fix for the last six years in Congress.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 17/04/2025

Had a great discussion and Q&A yesterday about our political moment, today’s policy debates, and the future of the Democratic Party in rural places. Thanks to @colbycollege.bsky.social for hosting and to the 150+ students who came to listen and ask great questions.

I really enjoyed the substantive, meaningful conversation at Penobscot Valley Senior College, where we discussed my work in Congress, current policy debates around trade and the SAVE Act, and what we can do to fix our broken politics. Thanks for having me!

It was overwhelming to hear the stories of families who’ve had loved ones held hostage by Hamas for the last year and a half. They’ve endured the unbearable. It’s long past time for ALL the hostages to return home.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 07/04/2025

Americans should be furious the Senate picked up where the House GOP left off: a budget to slash taxes for the wealthy by cutting Americans’ health care and blowing up the deficit. We can do so much better than this naked attempt to further rig the system for the few at the top.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 03/04/2025

I disagree with the administration’s moves to shutter the only agency focused solely on America's libraries and museums. Mainers understand the value these institutions have in connecting, educating, and even attracting folks from away. I believe in that mission, and am pushing back on those cuts.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 02/04/2025

In his executive order against collective bargaining for federal employees, President Trump said that their rights are incompatible with national security. He is wrong. So I've built a coalition of Democrats and Republicans with Rep. Fitzpatrick to support our new bill to protect workers’ rights.

Tax season is here — most Mainers receive a refund when they file. Here’s your friendly two-week reminder to make sure you file your taxes by April 15th — and get your hard earned money back in your pocket.

Vets should be able to easily access the health care they earned, no matter where they live. But that's not always the case for those far away from a VA clinic. I support the Rural Veterans Transportation to Care Act to provide more vets with rides to their appointments.

Foreign gifts are fertile ground for corruption and cast doubts about the integrity of decisions made by public servants. The GARD Act will close decades-old loopholes to make the federal government more accountable and transparent.

Americans could have died. There should be accountability for Cabinet officials who leaked sensitive military strike plans. I and @democrats-armedservices.house.gov are calling on Chairman Rogers to bring Defense Sec. Hegseth before the committee ASAP for questioning about the Signal leak.

When China undercuts U.S. shipbuilding, it threatens national security and hurts shipbuilders at Bath and Portsmouth. I’m leading more than 60 lawmakers in pressing the U.S. Trade Representative to fight back.

Last year, the gender wage gap widened for the first time in more than two decades. Today’s Equal Pay Day, and I’m fighting to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to correct this real problem.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 24/03/2025

Our working forests represent a proud tradition of honest work in rural communities. That’s why I've reintroduced my bill to designate the Maine Forest and Logging Museum in Bradley as the National Museum and Forestry and Logging History.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 18/03/2025

Supporting families includes their right to decide how and when they have children. Limiting access to contraception is a violation of that freedom. I’ve backed a bill to ensure Americans have access to contraceptives — and that health care professionals can provide them.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 14/03/2025

Honored to be the keynote speaker at today's Maine State Police graduation. These 19 new state troopers come from all walks of life to protect and serve Maine families. I urged them to always remember what called them to public service, and to stay true to their communities.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 13/03/2025

This week I had several great meetings with folks from the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Sipayik, Passamaquoddy of Indian Township, and the Penobscot Nation. I'm proud to make sure Maine's tribes have a loud voice and a strong fighter in Congress, no matter the challenge.

The #PROAct restores democracy on the job, strengthens workers rights and clamps down on union-busting tactics so that workers who want to form a union can do it and secure fairer wages and benefits and safer working conditions.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 05/03/2025

John Lewis once said that the right to vote is the most powerful instrument in democratic society. I’m committed to defending it. Today I’m helping reintroduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act as part of that essential mission.

Hospice care provides comfort and compassion during heartbreaking times. Virtual screening makes hospice more accessible for rural communities. My bipartisan bill would extend that flexibility ahead of its upcoming expiration.

Across-the-board layoffs at the VA threaten an already overstrained health care system for veterans. I’m calling on the administration to provide an immediate explanation of these moves and answers about the future of care for veterans.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 03/03/2025

As a new member of the Natural Resources Committee, I’ll have even greater ability to represent Maine harvesters in Washington. Representation starts with listening. Great to join the Fishermen’s Forum and hear from directly from the Mainers who work our waters.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 03/03/2025

Senior executive officials have access to info most Americans do not. Trading on it is wrong. Alongside a congressional stock ban, it’s beyond time to hold executive branch leaders accountable to their own duty of public service. My bill cracks down on that corruption.

8417 41

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 28/02/2025

The House GOP is proposing health care cuts to pay for tax cuts for the rich. It’s just wrong.

164611 46

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 27/02/2025

It was great meeting with the American Legion to discuss their “Be the One" initiative to reduce veteran suicides. Mental health struggles are something no one should have to fight alone. Better access to help is essential and I'm doing all I can to make it happen for Maine vets.

7243 24

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 27/02/2025

This week’s VA layoffs at Togus are a mistake. Vets already have a hard enough time getting access to high-quality care and asking fewer employees to do more work is unsustainable. Let's get these Mainers back to work doing what they love: helping our vets.

9254 25

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 26/02/2025

I had a great meeting with Disabled American Veterans about critical health issues that disabled veterans face and how to address them in Congress. From covering service-related healthcare needs to benefits for surviving spouses, I’m committed to getting disabled veterans the support they earned.

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 24/02/2025

Working families pay their bills every month, not once a year. My plan replaces the CTC's annual tax tweaks with monthly cash payments that are easier to budget around and provide a steady stream of income to help make ends meet. golden.house.gov/fisc-a-bette...

Congressman Jared Golden @golden.house.gov · 21/02/2025

🧵We cannot tolerate the politicization of the US Military, and I'll do everything I can to prevent it. Today I joined a bipartisan group of fellow veterans in Congress to demand answers about the Trump Administration’s reported plans to dismiss General and Flag Officers.
