“All my life, I have sought to be a champion of liberty in our nation and our state. Liberty isn’t something reserved for a few, but it is something given by God to all. It is also something that often needs to be fought for, and once gained, protected. We need people in the General Assembly who will cherish and defend liberty, and that’s why I endorse Matthew to represent NC House District 7. I’m confident that he will be a champion of liberty for ALL people in our community.”

" Matthew Winslow is not only a model of that communal pride, but also a model of someone who is always looking to give back to his neighbors. Whether it’s his work revitalizing our downtown buildings, serving on economic development groups like the Committee of 100, or his service with nonprofits like The Education Foundation and the Wake County Habitat for Humanity, Matthew Winslow is the type of guy who loves helping the people of Youngsville. He would make an excellent public servant for our community, and has my support to become the next Representative of NC House District 7.”
