Up North Progressive

Matt Morgan – don’t forget that name – because if you live in Michigan’s 1st House District, he’s going to be your next Congressman in Washington D.C. But first you have to write in his name on August 7, 2018 when you go to the polls and vote in the Michigan Primary. Matt’s petitions signatures were voided when the Board of Canvassers found an error on his paperwork. He can however still run for Congress as a write-in candidate.

Morgan settled in Northern Michigan with his wife and two sons after retiring from the United States Marine Corps. His civilian life included a career in television and film, but Morgan wanted to do more and looked into public service.

Issues Matt Morgan wants to address once he is elected and working in Washington include improving infrastructure. He wants to see the Soo Locks rebuilt for the 21st Century. Another infrastructure issue long overdue in Michigan is high-speed broadband internet available everywhere in the state. Both of these issues prohibit business growth in Northern Michigan. Morgan supports health care for all so that Northern Michigan residents won’t have to worry about going to the doctor when they’re sick or choosing between paying the house note or paying for prescriptions. Matt would also work to support and improve public education. Pre-K for all children, and community college for high school graduates.
