- Committees: Armed Services; Small Business
- District: Northern and eastern Maine, a vast rural district including Bangor, Lewiston, and Aroostook County.
Bio Golden is a moderate Blue Dog Democrat and Marine combat veteran who represents one of the most rural and politically competitive districts in New England. His cautious stance on aid bills reflects his moderate fiscal identity and his district's political character.

- Blue Dog Coalition fiscal moderate position.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine.
- Why it works with them: Marine combat veteran credibility. Moderate-district bipartisan messaging. Fiscal responsibility paired with strategic necessity.
- Your connection: If you are a moderate rural Maine voter or work at Bath Iron Works in shipbuilding, say so.
- Avoid: Framing as progressive internationalism. His district gives him credibility on bipartisan Ukraine messaging but requires moderate framing.
Maryland
Maryland hosts an important Ukrainian American diaspora community, particularly in the Baltimore metropolitan area including St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Shrine and surrounding parishes, and in the Washington DC suburbs of Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104? Thank you.
