Golden Seeks Green & Gold Congressional Aide in Lewiston Office
LEWISTON – Congressman Jared Golden (ME-02) announced today that he is seeking a veteran or Gold Star Family member for a two-year position in his Lewiston district office.
“Ensuring that our veterans and their families have the resources they need and earned is at the center of my work in Congress,” said Congressman Golden. “Participating in the Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program is another way to further this mission, and I look forward to welcoming this valuable new member and the perspective they bring to the team.”
The selected candidate will assist office operations in a variety of ways, including but not limited to managing constituent casework, serving as a liaison to local Veterans Service Organizations, and performing legislative work in coordination with the Congressman’s Washington, D.C. staff.
The program is limited to veterans and Gold Star Families who meet all of the following requirements: Veterans must be honorably discharged, released from active duty within the last six years, terminal pay grades at or below E-5, O-3, or W-2. Veterans promoted to the pay grades of E-6, O-4, and W-3 within 6-months of separation from active duty are eligible, granted they meet ALL other eligibility requirements. Veterans who are in receipt of a 20-year or Temporary Early Retirement Authorization (TERA) retirement are not eligible for the program. Gold Star applicants must be the spouse, parent, sibling, child or step-child of a service member who died in the line of duty, or died from a service connected disability within four years of separation from the service.
The Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program was established by the House of Representatives to provide employment opportunities for veterans and Gold Star Families within member offices, as well as to provide the experience and exposure necessary to continue developing their careers in the future.
