Democrats Race to the Far Left in Messy MI-07 Dem Primary
Democrats Bridget Brink, Matt Maasdam, and William Lawrence in Michigan’s 7th congressional district are racing to the left in their messy primary and “recently revealed to an activist group how out of touch their positions are from the majority of voters in the state.”
Progressive hero William Lawrence won the endorsement from Indivisible and also secured the endorsements of progressive icons Rashida Tlaib and Ro Khanna.
“The Democrat Primary in Michigan’s 7th congressional district has turned into a race to the far left. Whoever escapes the wreckage of infighting and spending at the end of their messy, expensive primary will win the prize of being rejected by Michiganders.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

Two Democrats hoping to win Michigan’s 7th Congressional District recently revealed to an activist group how out of touch their positions are from the majority of voters in the state, especially regarding immigration enforcement and climate policy.
Bridget Brink and Matt Maasdam recently submitted a questionnaire to Indivisible Michigan District 7 as part of the endorsement process. The George Soros-backed organization ultimately chose the farthest Left candidate, William Lawrence.
Lawrence parrots most of the progressive cures, including Medicare for All, more labor unions, bigger handouts, interfering in the housing market, surefire climate change fixes, and taxing billionaires more.

Lawrence, Brink, and Maasdam say they back the inversion of our energy economy from one to supply and demand to one where bureaucrats decide what kinds of fuel are acceptable, no matter what normal Americans want or can afford.
Brink told Indivisible that “Michigan should be at the forefront of the economy of the future: the green energy economy.”
Paradoxically, Maasdam says: “We should stop letting politics drive energy policy,” while arguing for the reinstatement of wind and solar projects cancelled by Trump. “Cut the red tape that slows clean energy permitting, and let the market work.”
If only Democrats would stop claiming the world is going to end and let the market work, these candidates would have more common ground with normal people who are already struggling to afford a car payment.
Instead, they’re sounding the climate alarm bells and demanding everyone shell out for an EV in 10 years.
These Democrat candidates in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District are racing to the left. The only winners are the activists and politicos who use overblown rhetoric to oversimplify immigration and climate policies.
The losers are voters in Michigan who want some sanity in Congress.
