The page, though labeled 'Media Kit', contains explicit, segmented media-buy instructions for specific geographies (Lansing, Detroit, Flint media markets) and channels (broadcast, cable, digital nonskip), with prescribed messages about endorsements and opponent attacks. This language is directed at outside groups running independent expenditures, not at voters or journalists. The presence of downloadable assets does not negate the clear red-boxing function.

Version 1 · Live from July 9, 2026 – revised July 25, 2026
MI-07 Democratic primary voters in the Lansing, Detroit, and Flint markets should begin learning about Matt Maasdam’s record of service to our country via non-skip content on digital platforms, including :30 and :15-second videos on connected TV and YouTube, as soon as possible after Memorial Day.
Key targets for digital and streaming, as well as cable, include women – especially those over 40 and those without college degrees – and MI-07 Democratic primary voters in the Detroit, Lansing, and Flint markets broadly.
Voters should hear this in an aspirational tone.

Skip to content HOME BIO PRIORITIES NEWS ENDORSEMENTS YARD SIGNS Facebook X-twitter Instagram DONATE MEDIA KIT Downloadable Video Downloadable Photos Last updated June 5, 2026: MI-07 Democratic primary voters in the Lansing, Detroit, and Flint markets should begin learning about Matt Maasdam’s record of service to our country via non-skip content on digital platforms, including :30 and :15-second videos on connected TV and YouTube, as soon as possible after Memorial Day. In addition to digital platforms, voters could also learn this information via cable. President Obama trusted Matt Maasdam, a Navy SEAL who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, with the highest stakes in the world – carrying the nuclear launch codes. Obama called him an “extraordinary leader” with “integrity and uncompromising character,” said “promote him now” and that “I expect Matt to continue to tackle our nation’s toughest problems.” Matt spent 20 years defending this country and took an oath to defend the Constitution. He is running for Congress to continue that mission – to fight Trump’s attacks on our healthcare, stop militarized ICE agents, and take on politicians’ corruption in Washington. Voters should hear this in an aspirational tone. As voters learn about President Obama’s positive reviews of Matt, it is important that they see those handwritten performance reviews in addition to hearing them described. Key targets for digital and streaming, as well as cable, include women – especially those over 40 and those without college degrees – and MI-07 Democratic primary voters in the Detroit, Lansing, and Flint markets broadly. It is equally important that as soon as possible after Memorial Day, MI-07 Democratic primary voters in the Lansing, Detroit, and Flint media markets learn via nonskip content on digital platforms, including :30 and :15 second videos on connected TV and YouTube, as well as via mail and on cable: Bridget Brink was appointed as ambassador by Donald Trump and served in his administration for four years, said she was “honored to be President Trump’s nominee,” and shared a post that thanked Trump for “standing up for America in a way that no president has ever had the courage to do before” after Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office. Brink was involved in Trump’s Ukraine mineral rights deal while she owned shares in the world’s largest lithium mining company, and she purchased the stock after signing an ethics agreement pledging to recuse herself from conflicts of interest, potentially violating federal conflict-of-interest laws. She traded stocks 179 times while she was Ukraine ambassador with access to insider information, including 46 times in one month. JOIN THE TEAM, AND LET’S GET TO WORK.
