Jared Golden, a U.S. Congressman representing Maine’s 2nd district, recently shared a series of tweets addressing issues pertinent to his constituents. Golden, who has served in Congress since replacing Bruce Poliquin in 2019, highlighted healthcare access, tax filing, and employment concerns.
On March 31, 2025, Golden emphasized the need for accessible healthcare for veterans, noting the challenges they face when living far from VA clinics. "Vets should be able to easily access the health care they earned, no matter where they live. But that's not always the case for those far away from a VA clinic." He expressed support for the Rural Veterans Transportation to Care Act, aiming to assist veterans with transportation to medical appointments.
On April 1, 2025, Golden reminded Mainers of the tax season deadline, promoting the benefits of filing taxes timely. He stated, "Tax season is here — most Mainers receive a refund when they file. Here’s your friendly two-week reminder to make sure you file your taxes by April 15th — and get your hard earned money back in your pocket." This reminder seeks to ensure that residents receive their due financial reimbursements.
Later on April 1st, 2025, Golden questioned the rationale of firing Maine’s workers involved in assisting residents in affording heating oil. In his tweet, he queried, "What “efficiency” is achieved by firing everyone in Maine whose job is to help Mainers afford heating oil when it’s cold?" He raised concerns about the potential impact on those reliant on heating oil services.
