2018 battleground election
This candidate's election was identified as a 2018 battleground race. The following content comes from our coverage of that election here.
State Rep. Jared Golden (D) defeated Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R), Tiffany Bond (I) and Will Hoar (I) in the November 6, 2018, general election to represent Maine's 2nd Congressional District.
As no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote on the first round, the secretary of state's office implemented ranked-choice voting procedures the week following the election.[1]
All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were up for election in 2018. As of 3:45 p.m. ET on November 12, 2018, eight U.S. House elections remained too close to call. The Democratic Party had gained a net total of 32 seats, winning control of the chamber. This race was identified as a 2018 battleground that might have affected partisan control of the U.S. House in the 116th Congress. Heading into the election, the Republican Party was in the majority holding 235 seats to Democrats' 193 seats, with seven vacant seats. Democrats needed to win 23 GOP-held seats in 2018 to win control of the House. From 1918 to 2016, the president’s party lost an average of 29 seats in midterm elections.
Prior to Poliquin's defeat, no incumbent had lost an election for Maine's 2nd District seat since 1916. Before Poliquin won the seat in 2014, Democrats held it for 20 years.[2] Barack Obama (D) won the district in the 2012 presidential election by 9 percentage points. Donald Trump (R) won the district in 2016 by 10 percentage points.[3]
This was the first general election in Maine for which ranked-choice voting was law, and this race was the first in U.S. history where the process was used to decide a congressional election.[4][5]

Political office: Maine state representative (2014-2018)
Biography: Golden was a Marine for four years, serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He graduated from Bates College in 2011. Golden returned to Afghanistan as a volunteer teacher, then worked as a staffer for Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. When he entered the state House, Golden became the assistant majority leader of the chamber.[6]
- Golden connected his background as a Marine to his idea of service in political office. He said that in the Marines and in the Maine House of Representatives, he served people over special interests and put politics aside to work as a team with others.[7][8]
- Golden highlighted his experience working three jobs after his time in the Marines when discussing his policy priorities. He said he would work to protect healthcare coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, lower drug prices, and protect Social Security and Medicare.[8]
- Golden called Poliquin a career politician. He said Poliquin voted for plans to cut Social Security and Medicare and remove healthcare coverage protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Campaign themes
2018

The following themes were found on Golden's campaign website.
| “ |
Jobs and Economy With the loss of these good-paying jobs, the poverty rate in Maine has risen. In our rural counties, 40 percent of working families are living at or near the poverty line, and one in five Maine children live in food insecure homes. Startlingly, Maine ranks third highest among the nation for rates of households with extreme food insecurity. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the concentration of wealth among the richest one percent has increased, while middle- and working-class wages have flatlined. Between 2002 and 2016, middle class wages have gone up just three percent. At the same time, the costs of living, healthcare, and education have grown at a much higher rate. In 2016, two-thirds of Maine voters thought their family’s financial situation was the same or worse than it was in 2012. They are not wrong. Our district’s economy has not yet recovered from the economic crash, and Maine’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) remains below its pre-recession level. Meanwhile, New England’s GDP has grown by eight percent and the country’s GDP has grown by 13 percent. In order to grow Maine’s middle class and improve working people’s lives, we must take action.
Health and Healthcare We can start by improving the Affordable Care Act. From there, we need to move towards a universal healthcare system, like Medicare-for-All. Too many people in America are without adequate healthcare coverage, resulting in higher premiums for those who are insured. In 2017, voters approved Medicaid expansion by ballot initiative, and I am fighting to ensure the Governor follows through with his responsibility to expand healthcare coverage to 70,000 Mainers. Across our state, rural hospitals are the economic cornerstones of many communities. Expanding Medicaid will help people get the care they need and deserve, and will help ensure healthcare workers remain secure in their jobs. We must also address the high cost of prescription drugs disproportionately affecting our state, especially among our elderly. The Federal Government should use its purchasing power to negotiate lower rates and allow for safe drug reimportation from countries like Canada. The Environment We must get serious about lowering carbon emissions and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. That starts with the United States rejoining the Paris Agreement, and leading the global effort to combat climate change. At home, we must do all we can to reduce carbon emissions by investing in fuel-efficient technologies and better transportation infrastructure. By being leaders on climate change, we can create new, green energy jobs in Maine, and put our people back to work producing, installing, and maintaining clean energy parts and products. As a State Legislator, I have supported efforts to expand the use of renewable energy in Maine, and I will continue to do so in Congress. Finally, we must fully fund the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure the safety of our air, water, and lands. We must keep polluters in check with strong environmental regulations, without over-regulating responsible small business owners. Environmental toxins like lead pose a major health crisis in Maine, particularly in our aging infrastructure and housing. We must use every tool available to clean up our environment, and to ensure our children and future generations are protected. Seniors We should honor all seniors, and fight against the privatization or roll back of Medicare and Social Security. We need to make these programs more efficient and accessible, and increase benefits so that more seniors have the opportunity for comfortable, secure retirements. We must also prioritize affordable senior housing, and remodel long-term care services so that seniors always have the option of living safely and comfortably at home. Education Equally as important, I believe high-quality, early childhood education is one of the best investments Maine can make. All children should have access to universal pre-kindergarten or Head Start. Children who attend pre-kindergarten have higher graduation rates, and are less likely to repeat grades, require special education, or find themselves in trouble with the law when they are older. It is critical to our democracy that we remain committed to our public education system. Teachers deserve better pay and benefits, and the government should let teachers teach – rather than burden classrooms with more mandates and excessive testing. Ultimately, an investment in education means an investment in our economy, and in our democracy. We must prepare young people to be informed citizens, so we can continue to have strong communities and a vibrant exchange of ideas. Trade Our trade policies must once again focus on creating economic opportunity for middle- and working-class Americans first. The United States must stop using trade agreements as investment deals for the world’s wealthiest corporations and instead prioritize higher wages, safer work, and meaningful environmental standards. Veterans & Defense I will never vote to privatize the VA, and I will oppose every effort to do so. Privatization of the VA stands to jeopardize the quality of healthcare provided to veterans, and it will create incentives for corporations to put profits before veterans. Congress must fully fund the VA, and hold the VA system to the highest of standards. Members of our military are taught to put mission first, and that excuses for failure are unacceptable. Members of Congress and the VA must hold themselves to those same standards. I will work closely with our veteran service organizations (VSO) to ensure their voices are heard in Congress. VSOs are on the front line assisting veterans, and given the proper resources, they can help Congress and the VA get the job done. I’ve fought on the ground in two foreign wars. Putting troops in harm’s way should always be a last resort and occur only when a compelling national interest exists. Congress must stop writing blank checks to the Executive Branch and take back the responsibility of approving where and when our country commits our troops. Over the past decade and a half, America has spent trillions on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and on other conflicts across the globe. War should be a last resort, and only undertaken when the security interests of America are clearly present, and the risks and costs can be appropriately justified to the American people. Women In Maine, women lead more than 53,000 family households, of which 28 percent earn incomes that fall below the poverty line. By ending wage discrimination, we would not only lift Maine families out of poverty, but working women in our state would have more money for healthcare, childcare, rent and mortgage payments, college tuition and retirement. Additionally, the United States is the only developed nation in the world without mandatory paid family leave. As an employer, I believe paid family leave polices benefit my campaign staff. In Congress, I will fight to expand these policies for all Americans, because people deserve time off to care for newborn children or sick loved ones. These policies will not only benefit Maine’s children and families, but also our economy. Finally, I believe every woman has the right to make her own healthcare decisions. Family planning options, including contraception, should be accessible and affordable to all women, regardless of income or insurance. I also firmly believe that Washington politicians have no business being involved in the private medical choices made between a woman and her healthcare professional. Campaign Finance I served on the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee in the Maine House for two years, where I oversaw election and campaign finance legislation in Maine. During that time, nearly every piece of legislation introduced to reduce the influence of money in politics failed on constitutional grounds because of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United. While ending Citizens United is my primary focus, other steps can be taken to address this problem. I have run as a clean elections candidate before. Authorizing meaningful public funding options for political campaigns will give candidates the opportunity to focus more on voter engagement and less on finding donors. I believe the federal government would be wise to follow Maine’s lead and establish a robust clean elections system. Congress should also increase transparency in fundraising and spending. In Congress, I will seek new ways to remove so-called “dark money” from politics, and shed light on how special interest groups spend. As a candidate for Congress, I have taken the No Corporate PAC Money Pledge. Finally, I believe Congress should establish fees on all paid campaign and political advertising as a means to fund federal clean elections candidates and the Federal Elections Commission. Opioid Epidemic There are simple solutions our state can take to help solve this problem. Expanding Medicaid in Maine will provide funding for mental health and substance abuse disorder programs so we can help people overcome drug dependence. In Washington, I will advocate for increased funding for preventive measures and substance abuse disorder treatments by proposing the following steps: 1) Prevention
2) Treatment and Recovery
3) Law Enforcement

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
