Thomas Harold Massie (born January 13, 1971) is an American politician and engineer. A member of the Republican Party, Massie has been the United States representative for Kentucky's 4th congressional district since 2012. The district covers much of northeastern Kentucky, but is dominated by the Kentucky side of the Cincinnati area and Louisville's eastern suburbs.
Before joining Congress, Massie was judge-executive of Lewis County, Kentucky, from 2011 to 2012. He also founded a startup company based in Massachusetts, where he previously graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Massie has been described as a libertarian Republican and a member of the Tea Party movement, which backed his candidacy for Congress in 2012.
Massie has become a regular critic of President Donald Trump during Trump's second administration, notably in relation to the release of the Epstein files, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and U.S. military action abroad. Trump has since solicited a primary challenge against Massie in 2026.
