Maine State Auditor Challenges Rep. Golden in Democratic Primary

Maine State Auditor Matt Dunlap has announced a primary challenge against Representative Jared Golden for Maine's congressional seat. Dunlap, who has served multiple roles in Maine government including seven terms as Secretary of State, argues that Golden has voted too frequently with Republicans on significant issues affecting Maine residents. The primary contest is scheduled for June 2026, with the winner likely facing former Governor Paul LePage in the general election.
