Background

Jared Forrest Golden is an American politician and Marine Corps veteran serving as the U.S. representative for Maine's 2nd congressional district since 2019.

A Democrat, he represents a district encompassing the northern four-fifths of the state, including the cities of Lewiston, Bangor, and Auburn, along with the state capital of Augusta. It is the largest district east of the Mississippi River. His district was carried by Donald Trump in both the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, making it a politically competitive area. Golden concurrently won his district both times.
