Jared Golden is Driving America into a Government Shutdown Instead of Fighting for Mainers

Out-of-touch Democrats are pushing America to the brink of a government shutdown. The clock is ticking—will Jared Golden have the backbone to defy his party bosses and fight for Mainers, or cave to the radical left?

If Golden chooses to put politics first, here’s how his vote will hurt Mainers – the very people he purports to help:

• Mainers’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
• There are 114,020 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs – including employment assistance programs.
• The 7,137 federal workers in Golden’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
• ME-02’s 8,637 farmers may not have access to financial assistance – including disaster relief.
• Millions in loan financing for Maine’s 157,133 small businesses will be jeopardized.
• Funding for the Head Start program – which 2,080 children in Maine rely on – may be cut off.

“Radical Democrats are driving America into a government shutdown, and Jared Golden is right there with them. This unnecessary government shutdown is on Golden—every consequence, every hardship.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
