Under his suit and tie, Rep. Jared Golden rocks tattoo sleeves. Since coming to Congress, the Maine Democrat’s collection of body art has expanded — a 2018 campaign ad showed just a handful of pieces on one arm, but now both are covered in tats. He has “too many to count” at this point, he said, but more ink is on the agenda.
“Get a few new tattoos,” he replied when asked about his plans for 2026. “I’ve always got more coming.”
Golden announced in November that he won’t seek reelection, joining a growing group of members looking for the exit door. With less than a year until the midterms, 17 House members so far have said they will retire, not including some who’ve already left and GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has vowed to resign in January.
