Candidate's Website, 2022

"New Hampshire’s lack of affordable housing means too many people can’t choose to live and raise their families in Hampton. Still others can’t afford to live in the town where they work. Matt will work with the town and the state, and developers and investors, to secure the workforce housing our businesses need, and the affordable housing necessary for Hampton to grow into the future."

Guarantee right to abortion before 24 weeks
For| Read My Position

Candidate's Website, 2022

"Matt’s mother worked almost her entire life at a clinic that provided health care services, including abortion. As he grew up, Matt watched as his mother continued working while her clinic faced fierce protests, was set on fire, and was attacked with noxious gas. Now, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade, while politicians in Concord enact onerous restrictions on the fundamental right to make the most personal of health care decisions. Matt will not stop fighting to preserve the right to choose and ensure his mother’s work was not in vain."

Mail-in voting
For| Read My Position

Candidate's Website, 2022

"The right to vote is fundamental, and any new laws should make registering and voting easier, not harder. The current administration concedes that our voting system is safe, secure, and reliable, and yet they continue to make it more difficult for citizens to register and vote. Matt will work to reverse this trend, and will fight for measures such as automatic and online registration, and no-excuse absentee voting."
