Ohio
Running for: State Representative, District 36
which includes parts of Summit County
Matt Shaughnessy is a 15 year district resident, a father of five, an attorney, a member on the Green City Council, and a retired firefighter and paramedic. On the City Council, Matt preserved the right to peaceful enjoyment of property by leading the fight against the Mayor’s plan to put walking trails through resident’s back yards. He drafted and passed common sense legislation requiring greater transparency and accountability of elected officials’ actions. And he helped lead the effort to make the Law Director an elected position. Matt put people first on the City Council, and he will put people first in his position as State Representative — centering the voices of his community.
Priorities:
Support working people who rely on a strong local economy; strengthen public schools; preserve parks and lakes.
