Matthew Maasdam

Democrat Not on the November ballot

Not on the November ballot

Maasdam is not on the November ballot for this seat. Tom Barrett and William Lawrence are.

A primary result is a filed fact about a 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.

How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC. 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 has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.

That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
