ICYMI: Golden Pushes for Good Faith Debt Ceiling Negotiation, Proposed Budget Garners Wide Praise

Washington Post: Amid the debt ceiling madness, a lonely voice of sanity emerges

Washington Post: “More lawmakers should emulate Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) and start laying out compromise proposals.”

WASHINGTON — Since its release last month, Congressman Jared Golden’s (ME-02) new framework to balance the budget and kickstart debt ceiling negotiations between President Biden and Speaker McCarthy has received significant coverage and support. 

In his proposal, Golden outlines the need for Congress and the White House to avoid default and negotiate a responsible budget deal that reduces the deficit, fights inflation, and moves Congress towards a balanced budget.

The plan has been praised and profiled by local and national news outlets:

• Politico: Playbook: The Dem begging his party to get real
• Roll Call: Centrist Maine Democrat floats compromise debt limit plan
• Sun Journal: Jared Golden floats compromise to fend off debt crisis in Washington
• Washington Post: A Maine moderate on the debt ceiling
• WGME: Rep. Golden calls for compromise as solution to debt ceiling crisis
