Jared Golden was elected as a Democrat, not a Republican nor an Independent. He is not serving Maine Democrats and should be replaced and soon. That he should have not even attended a White House meeting with the president, to which he was requested, is totally irresponsible. Now he is not endorsing the Democratic candidate, and hardly endorsing the Democratic platform, signaling a change needs to happen, and quickly.
Can we please find someone who is more of a Democratic, who can run on an Independent ticket, and send Golden back to his previous job? Whoever it is will get a lot of Maine votes. Golden is quickly shooting himself in the foot and we’ll lose that seat in Congress.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
