Video Embed Democratic Rep. Jared Golden prevailed in his rematch against Bruce Poliquin (R) to represent Maine's 2nd Congressional District. Golden, a Marine combat veteran, defeated Poliquin in 2018, shortly after the state enacted ranked choice voting. Poliquin, who held the seat from 2015 through 2018, previously served as the treasurer of Maine. MIDTERMS 2022 LIVE UPDATES Golden campaigned as a centrist, touting the times he has bucked party lines, having been the sole Democrat to vote against the Build Back Better Act and having voted against an assault weapons bill largely backed by members of his party. Poliquin looked to hit Golden on rising inflation and gas prices in the race and alleged that his opponent aligns with progressive policies the majority of the time. The district encompasses roughly 80% of the Pine Tree State, including Augusta, its capital. The House race has become one of the most expensive in the country, with outside groups spending roughly $21.3 million to boost their preferred candidate. Independent candidate Tiffany Bond also ran for the seat.
