Not on the November ballot
Maasdam is not on the November ballot for this seat. Tom Barrett, William Lawrence, Shane Dedrick and Felix Thibodeau are.
Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Maasdam's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable. A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing. Also on the ballot with no FEC filing, so no row: Felix Thibodeau.

How these directions are decided
Independent expenditures reported to the FEC, through July 27, 2026. The supporting or opposing direction is each committee's own declared filing, not an interpretation, and a group spending against a candidate is not necessarily spending for their opponent. Outside money is not the campaign's money and is never added to what they raised.
In their own words
What Maasdam's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Maasdam's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “Here’s what Matt’s fighting for”
- “Lowering Everyday Costs”
- “Defending Democracy & Freedom”
- “Protecting the Michigan Dream”
- “Teamwork • Judgement • Integrity • Passion • Courage”
Quoted from mattmaasdam.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.
Record in office
Maasdam does not hold a seat in Congress now, so there is no current voting record, cosponsorships or committee service to show here.
That absence is not a position for or against anything.
Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
