US House, MI-07
Matt Maasdam
Matt Maasdam is one of three climate champions running in the Democratic primary for the toss up House seat in Michigan's 7th Congressional District.
ON THE ISSUES
- Committed to bold climate action
WHY THIS RACE MATTERS
- Toss up House race - In 2024, the pro-environment candidate lost by less than 4% of the vote
- Climate champions Bridget Brink and William Lawrence are also running in the Democratic primary
- Flipping this seat in Michigan will help win a pro-environmental majority in the House, making it easier to pass climate legislation at the federal level
