Letter: Golden is not a true Democrat

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • July 18, 2024

How much more of U.S. Rep. Jared Golden’s voting with Republicans are we as Maine Democrats going to stand for? It seems clear that Golden is simply setting himself up for a run at Susan Collins’ seat in the Senate or the Maine governorship in 2026. His failure to support/introduce bills while currently a U.S. congressional representative — which protect our environment from the ravages of vehicle emissions, protect our fish and wildlife, encourage solar and wind power generation over coal and oil — are the reasons he is an unreliable Democrat. ~ David McKechnie, Saco
