The only reason lawmakers finally forced a vote on guaranteeing full Social Security for public workers is because of the advocacy of Americans who knew the WEP/GPO reductions were wrong. Read more about the team effort to get this solution done: www.bangordailynews.com/2025/01/08/p...

There’s no better time than now, at the start of the new Congress, to make the House more representative of the People. @gluesenkampperez.house.gov and I have ideas for how to do it. Check out our new op-ed. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | Reps. Gluesenkamp Perez and Golden: Now’s the time to make the House more representative. We’ve got ideas.

Those of us in Congress have a responsibility to listen to voters’ calls for change

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govJan 6(source)

For years, many Mainers had their Social Security benefits slashed because they took jobs as teachers, firefighters or other public workers. No more. I’m proud to have forced a vote to pass the Social Security Fairness Act to restore benefits for more than 30,000 Mainers.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govJan 3(source)

Today may be the start of a new Congress, but my priority remains the same: Championing a place-based, progressive conservative agenda that honors Mainers’ way of life and puts working people first.

Happy New Year!

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 30(source)

President Carter steered our nation through rough waters at home and abroad during his time in the Oval Office. After the presidency, he admirably continued to dedicate himself to others. My prayers are with his family as they celebrate his long life of service.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 25(source)

Merry Christmas, from my family to yours.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 20(source)

Instead, we’re simply ensuring we avoid a disruptive and costly government shutdown, supporting those who have experienced natural disasters — including at home in Maine — and extending the Farm Bill to provide stability for American farmers.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 20(source)

Happy to vote for the CR tonight. This plan strikes the balance that we should have been aiming for all along: No self-dealing for members of Congress. No preemptive permission for irresponsible deficit spending next year.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 20(source)

Workers have a right to join a union and bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. But Amazon refuses to meet its unionized workers at the table Time for Amazon to negotiate in good faith. I support the @teamsters.bsky.social strike. teamster.org/2024/12/team...

Teamsters Launch Largest Strike Against Amazon in American History

(WASHINGTON) – The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action f

The incoming GOP trifecta must address challenges from securing our Southern border to preventing tax hikes on working families. Their effort to suspend the debt limit for 2 years is a brazen attempt to avoid responsibility for ensuring those needs are paid for.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 19(source)

I voted no with hopes negotiators will go back to the drawing board while we still have time to get this right.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 19(source)

This Congress must pass either a clean CR to avoid a government shutdown, or pair any suspension of the debt limit with provisions to ensure we take steps to reduce the budget deficit in the new Congress.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 19(source)

Given that the last time Republicans had control over Congress and the White House, the deficit grew by leaps and bounds each year, I cannot in good conscience vote to give the incoming trifecta a blank check to blow up the national debt.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 19(source)

🧵I just voted no on the GOP's Continuing Resolution, which would have suspended the debt limit for two years. Here's why:

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 18(source)

Americans would rather take a hammer to the big toe than see Congress give itself a raise. Happy to join @gluesenkampperez.house.gov on @cnn.com to discuss our opposition to congressional pay increases in the CR. Hopefully the Speaker’s next proposal will focus on the work, not the perks.

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.govDec 18(source)

We should be working to raise Americans’ wages and lower their health care costs, not slipping new taxpayer-funded perks for ourselves into must-pass legislation behind closed doors. As long as raises and new health care perks for members are in the CR, I will vote against it.

Frances Perkins was a titan of Maine — the first woman to serve in the Cabinet, as Labor Secretary, whose support for the working class ran deep. I'm glad the Frances Perkins Homestead will be made a national monument, to help future generations learn about and remember her legacy.

Frances Perkins was the nation's first female Cabinet secretary and a crusader for workers' rights.

Here for the fishermen, the farmers, and every working family in Maine.
