Election: Who donated to Jared Golden and Austin Theriault? [Video]

MAINE, USA — On Tuesday, residents of Maine’s 2nd congressional district will vote for their representative to Congress.

Austin Theriault, a former NASCAR driver, won the June primary to clinch the Republican nomination. A relative political newcomer who just finished serving his first term as the state representative for a large swath of Aroostook County, including his hometown of Fort Kent, Theriault will face three-term incumbent Jared Golden, the Lewiston Democrat and Marine veteran.

The fight for the 2nd district will be closely watched across the country and will help determine the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The race has attracted a large amount of spending, both from within Maine and from out of state. As of Oct. 16, Golden’s campaign had raised about $6 million in individual contributions, while Theriault had raised $2.7 million.
