House Democrat Draws Primary Challenge After Voting With Republicans on Shutdown
Maine Representative Jared Golden, a Democrat, faces a primary challenge from State Auditor Matthew Dunlap, who criticizes Golden for aligning with Republicans. Dunlap, who served as Maine’s Secretary of State, asserts that Golden’s voting record, including his support for a Republican-led funding bill and the SAVE Act, has alienated Democrats. Golden, defending his actions, emphasizes his representation of an independent district and the diversity of its views. Additionally, former Republican Governor Paul LePage has also announced his campaign for the district’s seat.
