Matt Maddock, a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives, made several posts on March 14, 2026, expressing criticism of local and national Democratic policies. In his tweets, Maddock accused Oakland County Democrats of planning significant tax increases and criticized job creation efforts attributed to the Democratic Party.
In a post published at 01:34 UTC, Maddock wrote: “Oakand County democrats and communists want to double your property taxes so they can all retire at 50 making 200k a year. That’s what this is about.”
Shortly after, at 01:37 UTC, he stated: “The only jobs the dems are creating is another 2,000 state employees costing us 165k each.”
At 01:40 UTC on the same day, Maddock added: “Biden gave these communists 300 million in 2024”.
Maddock has been an outspoken critic of Democratic fiscal policy in Michigan. Property tax increases have been debated in Oakland County as officials consider funding public services and pensions. The addition of new state employees has also been discussed within Michigan’s legislature as part of broader budget negotiations. In recent years, federal funding allocations to states and counties have become points of contention between political parties.
