Longmont faces serious challenges now and in the future. We need practical policies and innovative solutions driven by people who know how to get things done. That’s why Matthew is running to continue serving Ward 2 on City Council with these top priorities:

1. Managing how and where the city grows by prioritizing redevelopment in our old industrial areas and ensuring we expand and support safe and convenient transportation options.

2. Increasing affordability by managing costs, including reducing the cost of building new early childhood education facilities, reducing the cost of getting around, and reducing the cost of living.

3. Preparing Longmont for a resilient future by planning for extreme weather, embracing community-oriented public safety strategies, planning ahead for the Sundance Film Festival to Boulder in 2027, and investing in a modern airport.

These priorities are based on feedback from residents and businesses - and directly respond to concerns about quality of life, economic opportunity, and safety.
