“Matt’s experience makes him a great partner for our criminal justice system. He listens to people’s concerns and is ready to work on real solutions for our community. As an attorney, he understands how to get the work done in Olympia and has what it takes to take on the challenge. He has my vote.”
I’m fired up about Matt. From my own years of service in the Legislature, I see in Matt the competent professional we really need right now. From my own Navy service as Commanding Officer of the battleship USS IOWA, I also recognize in Matt the trustworthy personal character and commitment to public service we need to get our politics back on track.
To be blunt, the folks now in Olympia screwed up our long-term care system. I trust Matt to bring common sense and legal expertise to the fix.

“I retired recently from a long career in healthcare. I appreciate the experience skilled nursing Matthew will bring to the legislature. Nursing homes were on the frontline during the pandemic and continue to play a critical role in proving care to our senior community. I wholeheartedly endorse Matthew for State Representative, Position 2.”
As a lifelong educator, I support Matthew and his values. He understands the value of public education and will be working for all the people of the 26th LD.
“Matt’s Experience in healthcare will help him to advocate for healthcare reform not only for the 26th district but also across Washington State. His knowledge of long-term care will be an asset to helping to pass legislation to provide needed resources for long-term care communities that care for our most vulnerable citizens. Matt is a voice for those that cannot speak for themselves.”
“Matt is hard-working, honest, and open-minded. He has a proven track record of obtaining successful outcomes. Matt is driven. He graduated from law school while raising a family, and leading an organization that cared for our elderly and most vulnerable adults. He has always done what he says he will and is not afraid to stand up for what he believes. I have full confidence that he will help get the government moving in a way that will benefit all of us. He has my vote.”
Matt’s background will allow him to effectively connect with 26th LD voters. Matt will be an asset to our 26th LD community as a representative in our state House.
“Matthew’s family and work career represent the very best values in our community. It is time to bring good leadership and judgment to the citizens of the 26th Legislative District.”
“As a Navy Veteran and long-time union member, I believe we need representation that works for the benefit of everyday working people, instead of fringe extremist groups who want to whitewash history while usurping the flag, the Constitution and the Bible.”
“As a social justice advocate, community organizer, and mental health professional, I recognize how important it is that the WA House represent those who understand real issues impacting our local community. Matt has a commonsense approach to addressing disparities in our community and increasing funding for housing and mental health.”
“I am so happy that Matt is running to turn the 26th LD blue! We need people who will support action on climate in the legislature. No more stalling and blocking of lifesaving action!”
“… he is an enthusiastic transit supporter and would make a heckuva improvement over a do-nothing Republican.”
