$5 might not sound like much, but it matters

Winning this race is critical. John, Here’s why we’re asking you to donate $5 today: Jared represents the reddest district in America held by a Democrat. National Republicans have made defeating him one of their top national priorities and dark-money Super PACs are already pouring …

We’re up by one point

It’s within the margin of error. John, The latest poll shows me ahead of Paul LePage by one point. That’s within the margin of error, which means this race is essentially tied. Paul LePage and his allies are spending millions to flip this seat, and every dollar we raise will help …

I refuse to accept corporate PAC money

$5 at a time — that’s how we win. John, When I first ran for Congress, I made a promise: I would never take a dime from corporate PACs. I’ve kept that promise every single election, even through some of the most competitive and expensive races in Maine’s history. That decision mea…

Golden vs. LePage: Who do you trust on healthcare?

The choice couldn’t be clearer. John, From day one, Jared Golden has fought to make health care more affordable and accessible for Maine families. He voted to protect the Affordable Care Act when Republicans tried to take health care away from millions of Americans. He stood up ag…
