Jordan Wood abandons Senate bid to run for Maine's 2nd District House seat [View all]
https://www.mainepublic.org/politics/2025-11-12/jordan-wood-abandons-senate-bid-to-run-for-maines-2nd-district-house-seatDemocrat Jordan Wood announced Wednesday that he's abandoning his U.S. Senate bid to instead run for the 2nd Congressional District seat held by Rep. Jared Golden.
The move by Wood follows Golden's announcement last week that he won't seek reelection, a decision that could diminish Democrats' ability to hold the seat in next year's midterm elections.
Wood amassed more than $3 million during his Senate bid, but was overshadowed by Democratic hopefuls Gov. Janet Mills and oyster farmer Graham Platner.
He now joins a Democratic primary that already includes former Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap.
