First-term Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) said he’s not going to take sides in next year’s U.S. Senate race, the Portland Press Herald reports.
“Golden said he respects both U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, and the leading Democratic challenger, state House Speaker Sara Gideon, a Freeport Democrat.”
“But his rationale for steering clear of the race has less to do with his feelings about the candidates than it does with his commitment to maintaining a good working relationship with whomever wins in November 2020.”
