Jared Golden, a Congressman representing Maine's 2nd district since 2019, has recently shared his views on several pressing issues via social media. Born in Lewiston, Maine, Golden is an alumnus of Bates College and has been active in politics for over a decade.

On February 7, 2025, Golden shared a story without providing additional context or commentary.

Later that day, he expressed concerns about the impact of energy industrialization on local fishing jobs. In a tweet posted at 17:26 UTC, he stated: "Maine fishermen know that the energy industrialization of the Gulf threatens generations of sustainable fishing jobs. Appreciate the support for my bill banning offshore wind development in LMA1."

The following day, February 8, 2025, at 14:42 UTC, Golden addressed consumer protection issues by highlighting the role of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). He remarked: "CFPB puts up real guardrails to protect Americans from abusive business practices. They put money back in people’s pockets. If there are problems, let’s fix them. But gutting or eliminating CFPB would be bad for working-class families."
