Congressman Jared Golden, representing Maine's 2nd district, shared insights and updates on various topics through a series of tweets. His posts addressed legislative achievements, energy policy discussions, and personal reflections on marriage equality.

On December 11, 2024, Congressman Golden directed attention to his legislative accomplishments by sharing a link for further details. He encouraged readers to "Read more about the provisions I secured."

Two days later, on December 13, 2024, he highlighted the need for permitting reform in the energy sector to ensure America's energy independence. He mentioned a meeting with members of Citizens' Climate Lobby from Maine as part of this initiative: "Even with an all-of-the-above energy approach, America badly needs permitting reform to secure our energy independence. It was great meeting with @citizensclimate members from across Maine to talk about ways we can unlock future development."

Later that day, Golden reflected on his personal life and legislative work related to marriage equality. He expressed gratitude for his family life and pride in contributing to the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act: "Marrying and starting a family with Izzy has been the best experience of my life. Every couple deserves access to that same blessing. The Respect for Marriage Act guarantees marriage equality, and it was an honor to help get it passed into law two years ago."
