Why Support Matt Ferrier
Matt decided to run for Congress because he is disappointed in the continuing gridlock and animosity between the Republicans and Democrats. As an independent candidate, he will work with both parties to accomplish needed change and improve the overall political atmosphere.
While he has no previous political record, Matt is a long time resident of Eastern Connecticut with over thirty years of Navy and industry experience. This background, coupled with listening to all his constituents, will help him to determine the best future for Eastern Connecticut and this nation.
Before Matt gets into office, he wants to reinvent political campaigns. Large staffs and huge advertising budgets require significant donations which in turn creates favoritism between the lawmakers and their large donors. Matt wants to be free to make the best decisions for Eastern Connecticut. So he will run a lean campaign utilizing the full potential of Internet communications and local news outlets to interact with the people of Eastern Connecticut.
Once in office, Matt will work diligently to accomplish meaningful changes to benefit Eastern Connecticut including:
- Supporting small businesses and workers impacted by COVID-19
- Addressing racial disparities highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement
- Passing the budget, a primary responsibility ignored by Congress for most of the past 20 years
- Simplifying people’s lives through changes to healthcare, taxes, and other regulations
Matt looks forward to representing all the people of Eastern Connecticut in Congress! Please sign his nominating petition to get him on the ballot.
