Thomas Massie’s Financial Ties to Iranian-American Executive Joe Kiani

 

 

One of Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) top donors in the 2023–2024 election cycle is Joe Kiani, an Iranian-born medical tech billionaire and founder of Masimo Corporation, a California-based healthcare company. Kiani, through Masimo’s corporate PAC and affiliated individuals, has funneled $10,600 to Massie’s campaign this cycle, making him the congressman’s largest known contributor from a single source.

 

What makes this relationship so striking is Kiani’s deep and consistent history of funding top Democrats, including:

 

🚨Beyond campaign efforts, Kiani and the Masimo Foundation collectively donated over $3 million to Biden-aligned groups:

 

$1 million to the Biden Foundation in 2017

 

$750,000 to the pro-Biden super PAC Unite the Country

 

$1 million to the Biden Inaugural Committee  .

 

 

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) – $5,634

Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA) – $5,000

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) – $2,000

Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) – $1,000

 

 

In previous election cycles, Masimo’s PAC donations leaned Democratic, only shifting Republican in 2024, with Massie as the primary recipient. However, Massie has received donations beyond this cycle.

 

Meanwhile, Massie continues to portray himself as an anti-establishment conservative who stands against foreign influence, elite donors, and political hypocrisy. But behind the curtain, he’s quietly accepting thousands from a Democrat-aligned executive with Iranian roots and deep ties to liberal power centers.

 

Could there be more to this?

Is it really about principle, or something else?

 

At a time when U.S. policy toward Iran is under intense scrutiny, and while Massie stakes out controversial positions on foreign affairs, his financial links raise serious questions.

 

Massie has been tricking his constituents, and the country, with smoke and mirrors. The image he sells doesn’t match the money behind him. 
 

Look it up for yourself. The facts are out there.
