Thomas Harold Massie (born January 13, 1971) is an American inventor, entrepreneur, and Republican politician who has been the United States Representative for Kentucky's 4th congressional district since 2012.

In 2012, he defeated Bill Adkins in the special and general elections to represent Northern Kentucky in Washington, D.C. Before joining congress, Massie was Judge-Executive of Lewis County, Kentucky, from 2011 to 2012. He also ran a start-up company based in Massachusetts, where he previously studied robotics at MIT. He is an engineer by practice and education.[1]

Massie has been described as a libertarian Republican[2] and is associated with the House Liberty Caucus.

Early life, education, and business career

Thomas Massie was born in Huntington, West Virginia. He grew up in Vanceburg, Kentucky, and met his future wife, Rhonda. He earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[4]

In 1993, at MIT, he and his wife started a company called SensAble Devices Inc.[3][6] Massie was the winner in 1995 of the $30,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for inventors.[4] The company was re-incorporated as SensAble Technologies, Inc., in 1996 after partner Bill Aulet joined the company.[3] They raised $32 million of venture capital, had 24 different patents, and 70 other employees.[5]

Massie sold the company, and he and his wife moved back to their hometown in Lewis County. They raised their children on a farm,[6][6] where he built his own off-the-grid timberframe house.[7]

Lewis County Judge Executive

In 2010, Massie pursued the office of Judge Executive of Lewis County, in order to fight what he considered wasteful spending and intrusion into the lives of the county's citizens by the government.[8] Massie won the primary election, defeating the incumbent by a large margin,[8] and went on to defeat his Democratic opponent by nearly 40 points.[9] Massie also campaigned for then-U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul, speaking to various Tea Party groups on his behalf.[8]

Massie resigned as Lewis County Judge-Executive, effective June 30, 2012.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}

U.S. House of Representatives

2012 election

{{Main|United States House of Representatives elections in Kentucky, 2012#District 4}}

In December 2011, Congressman Geoff Davis announced his decision to retire from his seat in Kentucky's 4th congressional district. Massie announced his decision to join the race on January 10, 2012.[10] Massie was endorsed by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky,[11][12] and Rand's father, Texas Congressman Ron Paul.[13][14] He also received endorsements from FreedomWorks,[15] Club for Growth,[16][17] Gun Owners of America,[18] and Young Americans for Liberty.[19]

On May 22, 2012, Thomas Massie was elected as the Republican nominee for the 4th congressional district, beating his closest opponents, State Representative Alecia Webb-Edgington and Boone County Judge Executive Gary Moore, by a double-digit margin.[20][21] In his victory speech, Massie thanked "the Tea Party, the liberty movement, and grassroots Ronald Reagan Republicans."[22] Massie was challenged by Democrat Bill Adkins in the general election, and was expected to win the election by a wide margin.[20][23] Massie resigned as Lewis County Judge-Executive, effective June 30, 2012, in order to focus on his campaign for U.S. Congress, and allow an election to be immediately held in order to replace him.[24] He was succeeded by Deputy Lewis County Judge-Executive John Patrick Collins, who was appointed temporarily by Governor Steve Beshear.[25] On July 31, 2012, Congressman Geoff Davis resigned from office, citing a family health issue for his abrupt departure.[26] On August 1, 2012, the Republican Party committee for Kentucky's 4th Congressional district voted unanimously to endorse Massie as the party's nominee once a special election was called.[27] A special election was called by Governor Steve Beshear to take place on the same day as the general election, November 6, 2012.[28] This meant that Massie would be running in two separate elections on the same day—one for the right to serve the final two months of Davis' fourth term, another for a full two-year term.[29]

On November 6, 2012, Massie won both the general and special elections. He defeated his opponent by a wide margin in both elections.[30]

Tenure

Massie was sworn into office to serve out the balance of Geoff Davis's term on November 13, 2012.[31] Massie served on three committees, including the committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, Oversight and Government Reform and Science, Space and Technology.[32] He became Chairman of the Subcommittee on Technology and Innovation, replacing outgoing Chairman Ben Quayle.[33]

Massie was the sole member of the House to vote "present" on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action of Iran's nuclear agreement, citing constitutional concerns that the treaties are not ratified by the House of Representatives and that he had no authority to vote for or against the nuclear deal[34][35]

Massie broke from the majority of his party by opposing the reelection of Speaker of the House John Boehner, instead casting his vote for Republican Congressman Justin Amash of Michigan.[36] In May 2013, he voted against the Stolen Valor Act of 2013, which passed 390 to 3.[37] In December 2013, he was the only congressman to vote against the Undetectable Firearms Act.[38]

In March 2014, Massie voted against a bill to name Israel an American strategic partner. Massie voted no because this bill would have subsidized green energy companies in Israel. He said he would not support subsidies for American green energy companies, let alone foreign ones.[39] However, the bill passed by a margin of 410-to-1.[40] In May 2014, Massie objected to a voice vote to award golf star Jack Nicklaus a gold medal recognizing his "service to the nation", and demanded a roll call vote.[37] The vote passed easily, 371 to 10.[37] Through mid-June 2014, Massie had voted "no" at least 324 times in the 113th Congress – opposing one of every three measures that came to the House floor. Politico named him "Mr. No".[37] In November 2016, Massie voted against an extension of U.S. sanctions against Iran, the only member of the House to do so.[41]

Massie identifies himself as a constitutional conservative. He believes in intellectual property and thinks it is necessary for incentivizing innovation. Massie has remarked that this is one of the areas in which he does not identify as libertarian.[42]

In 2017, Massie introduced a one-page bill that would abolish the United States Department of Education,[43] and cosponsored a bill that would abolish the Environmental Protection Agency.[44]

In April 2017, Massie expressed skepticism over the role of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad in the 2017 Khan Shaykhun chemical attack.[45]

On May 4, 2017, Massie was the sole House member to vote against sanctions on North Korea, which the final vote was 419-1.[46]

In July 2017, Thomas Massie joined Reps. Justin Amash, John Duncan Jr. (R-TN) and Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in opposing a bill that would impose new economic sanctions against Russia, Iran, and North Korea. President Trump opposed the bill, pointing out that relations with Russia were already "at an all-time and dangerous low." He did, however, sign the bill though likely out of political pressure.[47]

On December 29, 2017, Massie voted in favor of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.[48] Prior to voting, Massie stated he would support the bill in order to cut taxes, but that he would oppose "new government spending," despite the $1.5 trillion estimated to be added to the national debt according to the Congressional Budget Office in wake of the bill being passed.[49][50]

As of January 2019 Massie is ranked number 1 in Conservative Review Top 25 Conservatives list.[51]

On March 26, 2019, Massie was one of fourteen Republicans to vote with all House Democrats to override President Trump's veto of a measure unwinding the latter's declaration of a national emergency at the southern border.[52]

In 2019, Massie signed a letter led by Ro Khanna and Senator Rand Paul to President Trump asserting that it is "long past time to rein in the use of force that goes beyond congressional authorization" and that they hoped this would "serve as a model for ending hostilities in the future — in particular, as you and your administration seek a political solution to our involvement in Afghanistan.”[53][54] Massie was also one of nine lawmakers to sign a letter to President Trump requesting a meeting with him and urging him to sign "Senate Joint Resolution 7, which invokes the War Powers Act of 1973 to end unauthorized US military participation in the Saudi-led coalition's armed conflict against Yemen's Houthi forces, initiated in 2015 by the Obama administration." They asserted the "Saudi-led coalition's imposition of an air-land-and-sea blockade as part of its war against Yemen’s Houthis has continued to prevent the unimpeded distribution of these vital commodities, contributing to the suffering and death of vast numbers of civilians throughout the country" and that Trump's approval of the resolution through his signing would give a "powerful signal to the Saudi-led coalition to bring the four-year-old war to a close".[55]

Political positions

Abortion

Massie is pro-life and believes life begins at conception. He opposes federal funding being used for abortions and supports defunding Planned Parenthood.[67]

Cannabis

Massie has a "B+" rating from NORML for his voting history regarding cannabis-related causes. Massie supports veterans having access to medical marijuana if recommended by their Veterans Health Administration doctor and if it is legal for medicinal purposes in their state of residence. He supports industrial hemp farming and expanded research into medical marijuana.[56]

Education

Massie supports dismantling the US Department of Education.[43]

Environment

He has said that the evidence behind the scientific consensus on climate change is not compelling.[57] On the topic of climate change, Massie said "there's a conflict of interest for some of the people doing the research. I think some people are trying to integrate backwards, starting with the answer and working the other way. I think the jury is still out on the contribution of our activities to the change in the earth's climate."[57] In 2013, he implied that cold weather undercut the argument for climate change, tweeting "Today’s Science Committee Hearing on Global Warming canceled due to snow."[58]

Massie supports dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency.[59] He voted to block the U.S. Department of Defense from spending on climate adaptation.[60] He voted to repeal the Stream Protection Rule, which imposed stricter requirements on coal mining to prevent coal debris from getting into waterways.[61]

In 2018, after French President Emanuel Macron held a speech to Congress where he mentioned his desire that the United States re-join the Paris Climate Accords to curb climate change, Massie said Macron was "a socialist militarist globalist science-alarmist. The dark future of the American Democratic Party."[62]

Health care

Massie supports repealing the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare").[63] In 2017, he criticized the Republican-led efforts to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act, saying the efforts fell "far short of our promise to repeal Obamacare."[64]
