“I spoke in front of the Supreme Court to oppose a case that would give legal immunity to pesticides. And this evening I cosponsored an amendment with @chelliepingree to strip similar immunity from the Farm Bill. My PRIME Act is in the Farm Bill, so I’m trying to clean it up.”

“Federal law says new cars after 2026 must monitor drivers and shut down if the car disapproves. Your dashboard should not be judge, jury, and executioner.”

The Issues

Thomas Massie doesn't triangulate. He doesn't poll-test. Every position below is backed by a decade of votes that match the words.

01
Constitutional Fidelity

Every bill, every vote — measured against the original text and meaning of the Constitution. No emergency exceptions. No "just this once." The rule of law applies to everyone, including Congress.

02
Fiscal Responsibility

The national debt is a national security threat. Massie has voted against bloated budgets from both parties for over a decade. He believes you cannot borrow your way to prosperity.

03
Second Amendment

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed — full stop. Massie has authored legislation to repeal unconstitutional gun-free zones and has never voted for a gun control bill.

04
Non-Interventionism

America's military exists to defend America. Not to police the world, not to fund foreign wars, not to chase regime change across the globe. Massie has voted against every unauthorized military entanglement.

05
Sound Money & Audit the Fed

Inflation is a hidden tax. The Federal Reserve operates without adequate congressional oversight. Massie has co-sponsored Audit the Fed legislation every session and believes in honest, transparent monetary policy.

06
Privacy & Civil Liberties

Government surveillance of American citizens is unconstitutional. Massie has voted against mass surveillance, the PATRIOT Act extensions, and FISA reauthorizations that trample the 4th Amendment.

07
Agricultural Freedom

American farmers are over-regulated and under-protected. Massie supports the right to farm, the right to sell raw milk, and the right of families to produce food without government interference.

08
Limited Government

The federal government has grown far beyond its constitutional mandate. Massie believes in returning power to the states and to the people — exactly as the 10th Amendment requires.

09
Border Security & Sovereignty

A nation without borders is no nation at all. Massie believes in enforcing existing immigration law, securing the border, and restoring the rule of law — without amnesty or open-borders policy.

10
Free Speech & Big Tech

The First Amendment protects Americans from government censorship — and government must not collude with corporations to silence dissent. Massie has opposed every effort to use federal power against free expression online.

The government that governs least, governs best — and I intend to govern a whole lot less.

— Thomas Massie

Words Backed by Votes

In Congress, talk is cheap. Here is what Massie has actually done.

Voted Against NDAA

Opposed unconstitutional indefinite detention provisions year after year.

Opposed COVID Spending

One of the few who voted against trillions in emergency spending bills.

Audit the Fed

Introduced and co-sponsored Federal Reserve transparency legislation every term.

No Foreign Wars

Voted against every unauthorized military intervention and foreign aid package.

PATRIOT Act Opponent

Voted against reauthorization of mass surveillance programs that violate the 4th Amendment.

Never Raised Debt Ceiling

Consistently voted against unconditional debt ceiling increases regardless of party pressure.

Thomas H. Massie
Engineer • Farmer • Statesman

A Constitutional Conservative
Who Means It

Thomas Massie doesn't follow the party line. He follows the Constitution. Since 2012, he has represented Kentucky's 4th Congressional District with an independence so consistent it has earned him a unique nickname in Washington: "the Congressman who votes no."

A graduate of MIT with degrees in electrical engineering and management, Massie returned to his family's land in Lewis County, Kentucky — where he and his wife built their own house off the grid. He is a cattle farmer, an inventor, and a legislator who brings a rare engineer's logic to every vote he casts.

In a city full of people who say one thing and do another, Thomas Massie is the same man in Washington as he is in Kentucky — and in 2028, he's ready to bring that integrity to the highest office in the land.
