Rep. Jared Golden is facing public pressure on multiple fronts. Maine Conservation Voters and the Lewiston-based IBEW 567 union launched an ad this week encouraging Golden to vote for the bill, citing “clean energy jobs.” Business Forward, a national small business group in favor of the bill, is spending nearly $100,000 on radio ads in the 2nd District as well. On the flip side, the conservative group Club for Growth has been running TV ads for two weeks comparing Democrats, including Golden, to pickpockets. The National Republican Congressional Committee also dropped a new digital ad campaign on Monday framing the bill as a tax hike.
