Hi John, it’s Jared’s wife Izzy!

I first met Jared in the spring of 2014 when he was running his first campaign to represent Lewiston in the Maine State House. At that time, he was also getting up at 4:30 AM every morning to help his father mow at Springbrook Golf Club in Leeds, the small family business that Jared’s mother has owned for over 40 years.

In the eight years that have passed, I’ve watched my husband become a state representative, the Maine House Assistant Majority Leader, and a member of Congress – but nothing has compared to watching him become a dad to our daughter Rosemary.

That’s why I can say firsthand, that although the GOP and their dark money super PACs are trying to distort Jared’s record with TV attack ads, he’s still the same person who ran for Congress four years ago.

If you believe, like I do, that we need to keep principled leaders like Jared in Congress, then I hope you will take that next step and donate to our campaign today.

Through all of the noise, Jared has remained unwavering in his support for working class families, campaign finance reform, and in his belief that politicians and the government have no business taking away a woman’s right to make private decisions about her body.

At a time where it’s never been more crucial to stand up for Democratic values, Jared is exactly the kind of person I want representing me in Congress.

On behalf of our whole family and Team Golden, thank you for all you’re doing to help Jared and our community.
