Town Council
The simple and undeniable fact is that our Town Council currently lacks a true variety of viewpoints. Matt will bring an independent voice and real debate back to the dais, so every Aberdeen resident has someone fighting for them.

Where We Stand
The issues that matter for Aberdeen
A practical agenda for the policies that will make the biggest difference for our town.
02
Responsible Development
Aberdeen’s character is worth protecting. Matt is fighting against reckless overdevelopment that strains our roads, schools, and services — and standing up for smart, responsible growth that keeps our neighborhoods livable.
03
Economic Development
We need to attract more businesses to our community, and that starts with restoring our Economic Development Council. A stronger local economy means more jobs, a wider tax base, and vibrant places to shop, eat, and gather.
04
Taxes
We must be creative and practical in helping homeowners invest in their homes and remain in our community, without being priced out by steadily increasing property taxes. Holding the line on taxes is how we keep Aberdeen affordable for families and seniors alike.
