NRCC Statement on Austin Theriault Winning ME-02 Debate

October 4, 2024

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) issued the following statement on Austin Theriault’s decisive victory in the 2nd Congressional district debate against flip flopper Jared Golden:

“Austin Theriault’s commitment to putting people over politics shone through in tonight’s debate. Whether it’s preserving Medicare and Social Security, protecting Second Amendment rights or making life easier to every day Mainers, Austin is committed to delivering for the people of ME-02. 

“Meanwhile, Golden’s debate performance exposed him as someone who went Washington. His flip flops on major issues—ranging from the Second Amendment to the border— made it plain for voters to see he no longer cares about their needs. It is time to retire Jared Golden.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Savannah Viar
