Congressman Jared Golden, representing Maine's 2nd district, shared his insights and concerns on social media regarding local initiatives and federal appropriations. He expressed gratitude for the work of Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation and discussed issues related to congressional funding.

On January 27, 2025, Congressman Golden acknowledged the efforts of a local organization by stating: "Very grateful to Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation for their devoted, compassionate work supporting disabled Maine veterans and their families. This is an inspiring mission and I was honored to see it in action firsthand."

The following day, January 28, 2025, he addressed federal funding concerns by asserting: "I'm working to track down those answers and ensure congressionally approved funds are sent out the door. Because the reality is simple: Congress controls federal appropriations, not the executive branch."

In another post on January 28, 2025, Congressman Golden elaborated on specific grants under scrutiny: "In question are grants for tribal health care, small business funds for fishermen, farmers, and manufacturers, and even critical services Mainers rely on, such as SNAP and LIHEAP. That said, the vagueness of the president's order means there are more questions than answers."
