Matt Maddock, Michigan State Representative for 51st District | Michigan House Republicans
In a series of tweets, Matt Maddock, an American politician, presented his views on various issues ranging from corrections facilities to legislative reforms and judiciary evaluations, highlighting his conservative stance.
On April 30, 2025, Maddock addressed the challenges within the Michigan Department of Corrections. He emphasized, "Michigan Dept Corrections has too many problems cuz we have too many prisons. Need to close 8 of 27 to fix problems. Went from 51k to 32k inmates. Time to consolidate #MIGOP #MILEG". His remarks suggest that the reduction in inmate numbers from 51,000 to 32,000 warrants a restructuring to resolve ongoing issues.
Later that day, Maddock commented on a proposed legislative change regarding geographical nomenclature. He stated, "The left is going crazy over my bill to rename the Gulf. They put up 20+ unsuccessful amendments. They haven’t fought so hard against something since America rejected them and re-elected Americas President a second time." Here, Maddock criticized the intense opposition his bill received.
Continuing his discourse into May 1, 2025, Maddock expressed a critical opinion of the judiciary, declaring, "Leftist communist judges are more dangerous than criminals to a community." This statement underscores his firm condemnation of judges he perceives as having leftist ideologies.
In these posts, Maddock reflects broader themes in his political platform, advocating for prison consolidation, new geographical designations, and a critique of perceived judicial activism.
