Democratic Rep. Jared Golden won reelection to Congress through Maine’s ranked choice system on Friday. It’s the third time in four elections in the hotly contested district that Golden won after votes were retabulated because first choices failed to produce a majority for any candidate.

Republican Austin Theriault failed to unseat Golden, despite the Democrat's support for an assault weapons ban.

After several days of ranked choice vote tabulation following a razor-thin race between incumbent Democratic candidate Jared Golden and Republican candidate Austin Theriault, a winner was declared Friday night for Maine's 2nd Congressional District.
