Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, posted several updates on his social media account between September 14 and 15, 2025. The posts addressed legislative initiatives, budget priorities, and political commentary.
On September 14, Maddock announced plans to introduce new legislation related to concealed pistol license applications. He stated: "Tuesday I will introduce a bill to allow CPL (concealed pistol license) applications to be filed at any county because leftist-run counties harass and delay ppl who want to protect themselves." This proposal would enable residents to submit their CPL applications in any county across the state, with the intent of reducing alleged administrative delays attributed by Maddock to certain local governments.
Later that evening, Maddock shared an update from a local political event. He wrote: "Everyone loves our Republican Budget that cuts fraud, boosts K12, doubles road funding all with tax cuts. Great to see so many great ppl at the 11th Congressional District Picnic today!" The post highlighted key elements of the proposed Republican budget plan—targeting fraud reduction, increasing education funding for kindergarten through twelfth grade (K12), doubling allocations for road infrastructure projects, and implementing tax reductions.
In a subsequent message posted early on September 15, Maddock commented on national politics and offered praise for former President Donald Trump and another individual named Charlie. He said: "Goodnight everyone. Can’t wait to see what Trump will do tomorrow to cripple the communists tomorrow. God is great. Charlie deserves the Nobel Prize for Peace. We will never have peace with radical leftists and communists."
Maddock has previously been active in Michigan's legislative efforts around firearms policy and conservative fiscal measures as part of his tenure in the state's House of Representatives.
