Jared Golden, a U.S. Congressman representing Maine's 2nd district since 2019, has recently expressed his views on several significant issues through social media posts. Born in Lewiston, Maine, and an alumnus of Bates College, Golden has been vocal about women's reproductive rights and healthcare policies.
On January 22, 2025, Congressman Jared Golden tweeted about his stance on reproductive rights: "The American people — and Congress itself — cannot stop until that basic human right is restored. It's why I'll vote against the House majority's latest attack on reproductive freedoms this week when H.R. 21 is brought to the floor." This statement reflects his commitment to opposing legislative measures he perceives as threats to reproductive freedoms.
In another tweet from the same day, Golden emphasized the importance of personal autonomy regarding women's reproductive rights: "An essential part of freedom is control over your own body, and women's reproductive rights are inseparable from that. Roe v. Wade’s affirmation of such 52 years ago was not only the correct legal decision but one that upheld the moral dignity of personal autonomy." His remarks highlight his belief in maintaining established legal precedents supporting individual rights.
On January 23, 2025, Golden addressed healthcare policy changes made by President Trump: "At a time when we should be lowering prescription drug costs, this order by President Trump closes the door to $2 generics and cuts the ACA enrollment window for uninsured Americans. That’s a move in the wrong direction." Here, he criticizes actions that he believes hinder access to affordable healthcare options.
