Smarter Spending. Safer Communities. Common Sense Leadership.

Serving McHenry County as your District 1 County Board Member for one term. 25+ year resident of McHenry County. Fighting every day for tax relief, law & order, and accountable government.

About Matt
For my first term, I’ve proudly served District 1 on the McHenry County Board. My mission has been clear: protect your tax dollars, fight for public safety, and bring common sense to local government.

I’m running for re-election because the work isn’t finished. Property taxes remain too high. Wasteful spending continues to threaten your pocketbook. And misguided policies like the SAFE-T Act put our communities at risk.

I will keep standing up for the hardworking men and women of McHenry County, because you deserve a voice that puts people over politics.

Lower Property Taxes

I’ve fought to decrease the county levy to ease the property tax burden on homeowners and retirees.

Fiscal Responsibility

Every taxpayer dollar matters. I demand a balanced, commonsense return on your investment.

Public Safety

I oppose no-cash bail and the unfunded mandates of the SAFE-T Act. I’ll always back law enforcement and first responders.
