Congressman Jared Golden, representing Maine's 2nd district since 2019, shared his perspectives on a Continuing Resolution (CR) through a series of tweets. Golden, who succeeded Bruce Poliquin in the U.S. Congress and previously served in the Maine House of Representatives, addressed various aspects of the CR and its implications.
On March 11, 2025, Congressman Golden expressed his dissatisfaction with certain elements of the CR. He stated, "To be clear, this CR is not the one I would have written. But elections have consequences. I am disappointed by messaging gimmicks from some in my party, particularly the untrue claim that this CR cuts veterans services." This tweet reflects his concern about what he describes as misleading statements regarding veterans' services.
In another tweet posted on the same day, Golden outlined specific provisions included in the CR: "The CR also includes: extended telehealth flexibility for Medicare; and advance funding for state Medicaid grants and Aging and Disability Services Programs." Here, he highlights positive measures aimed at enhancing healthcare accessibility.
Further clarifying misconceptions about the impact of the CR on veterans' care, Golden tweeted: "The truth is: There are no cuts to veterans care in the period covered by this CR & we have six months to ensure funding continues in the next fiscal year. To say it contains cuts is, at best, a misreading that creates unnecessary fear among veterans." This statement emphasizes his commitment to maintaining support for veterans.
