I am writing in support of Matthew Beck for MatSu Borough Mayor. I have known the Beck family over the last 20 years. Their three children attended the school where I was principal. He and Teresa were involved and supportive parents at school, in youth athletics, and church activities as the girls grew up. Matthew’s many years of youth ministry, volunteerism, and Assembly work demonstrate his commitment to our valley. His service has been focused on making the valley a better place for raising a family, living, and doing business.
During his tenure on the MatSu Assembly he spent countless hours listening to and learning from residents about their biggest concerns. His approach has always been to listen respectfully to different perspectives, research, and then proceed to a vote fully aware of the impact of decisions.
Matthew is not interested in partisan politics driving his decisions. He knows there is important work to be done. Let’s elect a mayor who knows the valley, loves the valley, and can move us forward to being a stronger, healthier, more prosperous place to live and work. Matthew Beck has earned my vote!
