Tom Barrett voted for Trump's reckless tariffs that have already killed nearly 100,000 American manufacturing jobs and made your life more expensive. Michigan families are feeling the pain of the Barrett-Trump economy, and they’re ready for a change.
I'm proud to have served our country for 20 years as a Navy SEAL. I'm proud that I helped build a company that makes everything in America. And I'm proud to have earned the trust of Michigan's labor unions, because I'll always fight for working people and American jobs.
They’re scared, so they’re distorting my record - they know I’m the strongest candidate to beat Barrett in November.
The strength of our campaign has Trump and the Republicans running scared!
Tom Barrett’s allies are attacking me on Fox News today, months before the Democratic primary - and now Donald Trump's campaign is attacking me directly.

I'm not here to tell people how to feel, and I'm not here to take DC to Michigan.
I'm running for Congress to take Michigan to DC.
Success only ever comes when you have a strong Team beside you. In the SEAL Teams, and now on this campaign, we capitalize "Team" - because being part of something bigger than yourself is central to the mission. Thank you all!
For six months, Team Maasdam volunteers have talked to their friends and neighbors and showed up at community events, sometimes in below-freezing temps, to make it happen.
Big news, Team!
Yesterday we turned in 2,000 volunteer-collected signatures to get on the August ballot, then celebrated with some of the 100+ volunteers who made it happen.
I've carried the nuclear codes for the President of the United States. I've spent a lot of time thinking about what a scenario like this means for humanity - everyone loses.
It’s time for Congress to stand up and stop his reckless use of force.
We should take Trump's statement that "a whole civilization will die" in Iran seriously. Those are the words of a madman threatening a war crime.
I spent 20 years serving this country, and I'm not done yet. Michigan doesn't need more politicians- we're a state full of reasonable people who just want their representatives to show up and do the hard work. That’s what this campaign is about: service.
🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 We’re proud to endorse @mattmaasdam.bsky.social in his race for #MI07. As a member of #UnrigWashington, Maasdam is committed to leading with reform. Michiganders can trust that he’ll put them first, not corporate special interests. We look forward to helping him win.
At the beginning of this campaign I made a pledge: no corporate PAC money, no stock trading in Congress, and we’ll work to end dark money in our elections.
Proud to partner with @endcitizensunited.bsky.social in the fight. 🇺🇸
As a leader in the government, your service is supposed to be to the American people. Never yourself. Never corporations.
But too many politicians are enriching themselves, or voting to help their corporate donors. Working families pay the price.
A political action committee focused on campaign finance reform is backing former U.S. Navy SEAL Matt Maasdam in the race to represent one of the most competitive congressional districts in the nation.

The Q1 momentum is real!
Thank you to the tens of thousands of people chipping in to fund this grassroots campaign. I'm especially proud that we don't take a dime from corporate PACs.
Michiganders deserve a representative who works for the people- not corporations, not their own self-interest.
When I joined the Navy, I swore an oath to the Constitution- not to any party or person.
I won’t stand by while it’s ripped apart.
I’m running for Congress because the oath didn’t end when I took off the uniform.
It was awesome to volunteer with great people serving excellent food and supporting a worthy cause.
Events like these are my favorite on the campaign trail, because mid-Michigan deserves a representative who just shows up and listens. I am that rep.
I grew up going to church several times a week, especially during Lent. There’s something special about the way a church fish fry brings the community together. Cristo Rey’s Annual Fish Fry on Friday was exactly that.
Right now we have a president who treats us like his subjects, and Congress is letting him get away with it.
Today in Lansing and around the nation, tens of thousands of people showed up to say: remember who actually runs this country. We the people.
No Kings Lansing âś…
Lincoln said it best: government of the people, by the people, for the people.
No Kings Brighton âś…
Big crowd gathered to say presidents and representatives serve the people, not the other way around! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Career firefighters make it their life's work to put their lives on the line, every single shift, for their neighbors and their community.
Proud to have MPFFU’s endorsement. I'll always have their backs in Congress.
Some of my earliest memories are in fire stations- tagging along with my dad, who taught CPR and volunteered as a firefighter on the side.
That's where I first learned what real service looks like.
One attendee works as a cashier at Busch's. She doesn't need a report to tell her prices are too high - she hears it from people at the cash register every day.
Excited to work with this crew to flip #MI07, and get to work for people’s pocketbooks.
Awesome meet-and-greet this week with folks from Milford, South Lyon, Brighton, and Pinckney.
What I heard: everything costs more, and everyone knows it.
There's never been a more important time in my lifetime to stand up for working people, and Teamsters Local 243 knows how to fight. I'm excited to work together - welcome to Team Maasdam. đź’Ş
Team Maasdam hit TWO St. Patrick's Day parades this weekend - the temperatures may be dropping again but there was plenty of green, plenty of smiles, and plenty of "everyone's Irish today" spirit to go around.
From Pinckney to Grand Ledge, mid-Michigan knows how to throw a parade! 🍀
