It’s distressing that a fellow who wants to represent those of us who live in the 2nd Congressional District of Maine won’t take an interview with a newspaper and won’t talk one-on-one with a calm interviewer for Maine Public Radio. About the only thing Austin Theriault has said in public is that he is voting for Donald Trump, and he then castigated his opponent for keeping his voting plan to himself. He seems content to let the big-money people who underwrite his ads say whatever they want.
Jared Golden has served Mainers of the 2nd District in Congress and occasionally ruffles feathers on both sides of the aisle, but he speaks and writes his thoughts for all of us to follow. He’s honest with us about who he is and what he’ll do.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
