U.S. Rep. Jared Golden of Maine went toe-to-toe Friday on the floor of the House of Representatives with a Republican leader over a Democratic proposal to ease voting and promote public financing of campaigns.
After the minority leader, California's Kevin McCarthy, blasted the measure as something "the Democrat socialist majority" wants "to take more of your money and give it to the politicians," Golden fired back.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Jared Golden (ME-02) voted for a comprehensive package of reforms today designed to strengthen our democracy by removing big money from politics, helping more Americans exercise their right to vote, and ensuring government officials act in the public interest. The legislation, the For the People Act (H.R. 1), included an amendment offered by Golden to bar candidates who have committed campaign finance violations from accessing a new federal matching system.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A package of more than 100 federal lands bills that the U.S. House of Representatives passed last week includes the Acadia National Park Boundary Clarification Act.
The Senate had passed the omnibus lands bill earlier last month. So, now all that is needed for it to become law is the president's signature.
The Acadia portion of the 260-page bill validates the National Park Service's 2015 expansion of the park's boundary to include 1,441 acres of donated land on the Schoodic Peninsula. A large portion of that land is now the Schoodic Woods Campground.
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed HR 1, the Democratic-backed election reform bill that includes an amendment from Maine 2nd District Rep. Jared Golden providing the rules for public financing for congressional races. The floor debate over that amendment Friday triggered a heated exchange between Golden and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Jared Golden (ME-02) released the following statement on his vote against gun control legislation in the House today:
"Maine isn't Chicago, Washington, or New York. For many of my constituents, access to firearms is a necessary part of daily life and we have a tradition of responsible gun ownership."
Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Golden on Tuesday laid out what he called his "health care road map."
During last year's tough 2nd Congressional District race, Golden said, "I told Mainers I would work to help make good health care available and affordable for everyone."
