Q-POINT

Send us a text

In Part One of our conversation with Congressman Jared Golden, we dive into foreign policy, Israel, and Maine’s iconic lobster industry. Golden weighs the risks of U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine, calls for conditional oversight on aid to Israel, and explains his concerns with the Biden administration’s approach to EV rebates. He speaks candidly about protecting Maine’s lobstermen from overreaching whale regulations, as well as the long-term fiscal challenges facing the nation, healthcare costs, and the need for smarter permitting processes.
