Right after Memorial Day, as soon as possible, Democratic Primary voters in Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District need to see and hear on Lansing and Detroit broadcast, district-wide OTT/CTV streaming, non-skippable :30 and :15 YouTube, and digital, the following information:
THE BRIDGET BRINK STORY
Bridget Brink is the granddaughter of a Lansing autoworker. Raised by a single mom and living with her grandparents to make ends meet, Bridget worked her way through college and entered the U.S. Foreign Service. For nearly thirty years, Brink fought for freedom and democracy, including serving on President Obama's National Security Council and as the first female U.S. ambassador in a war zone. For three years, Brink led the U.S. on-the-ground to defend Ukraine from Russia’s invasion. She resigned in protest of Donald Trump’s appeasement of Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin. In Congress, Brink will fight to end Trump's costly and chaotic tariffs, restore Trump's cuts to Medicaid, make health care more affordable, and protect democracy. While some talk about standing up to Donald Trump, Bridget Brink is the only one who has actually done it.
After hearing the Bridget Brink story, Democratic Primary voters in Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District need to see and hear on Lansing and Detroit broadcast, district-wide OTT/CTV streaming, non-skippable :30 and :15 YouTube, and digital the following information about Matt Maasdam’s disturbing record:
MATT MAASDAM’S DISTURBING, DISHONEST RECORD OUTSOURCING AMERICAN JOBS
Matt Maasdam is running a false, desperate smear campaign to try to distract you from the real truth – his disturbing record of outsourcing American jobs overseas. Maasdam’s companies aren’t based in Michigan or have any Michigan employees – at all. Worse – Maasdam was caught lying about his company’s products – claiming they were a hundred percent American made. But Maasdam actually imported materials from China. And Maasdam was caught bragging about outsourcing manufacturing jobs to Guatemala, one of the worst violators of labor rights in Central America.

Brink has been praised for her lifelong work protecting democracy and tackling corruption:
“A powerful voice for reform, taking aim at government corruption” -The New York Times
Matt Maasdam is using false attacks made by Trump allies against Bridget Brink after she stood up to Donald Trump’s chaos and corruption, in an attempt to win power for himself. The facts are clear:
Bridget resigned in protest of Donald Trump’s chaos and corruption, and is the only candidate in the race who has actually stood up to Trump. She is running to hold him accountable, end the reckless tariffs, expand access to health care, and defend democracy. She is the anti-corruption candidate, with a plan to fight corruption.
As a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Foreign Service, Bridget is the most heavily vetted candidate in the race. A two-time Ambassador, she was twice confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate. She held a Top Secret security clearance her entire career, faced persistent cyber attacks for her positions fighting corruption, and had no involvement negotiating Trump’s mineral deal with Ukraine.
