MATT'S ISSUES 

It is very clear to me that the present administration, the current Sheriff, isn't doing what's needed to be done to make New Hanover County safe. It's time for a new face in the Sheriff's office. 

SAFER STREETS

The county's ports, airport, and highways make it a haven for criminal enterprise. New Hanover is rampit with drug and human trafficking, opioid abuse, and violent crime. I will work with local and federal agencies to send criminials back across the county line. 

SAFER SCHOOLS

I plan to make the school system safe by getting the gangs out of the schools. Our children can't learn when they are terrified. I also plan to background check teachers and all staff who work within the school system. There will be no more sexual assault in the schools. 

PRO 2nd AMENDMENT

I will support and protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to have a firearm for personal protection. I will not enforce red flag laws that allow law enforcement to confiscate personal firearms without due cause. 

NO MANDATES 

Mask and vaccine mandates are unconstitutional and it is not the role of the Sheriff's Office to enforce these mandates. The role of law enforcement is to protect law-abiding citizens.
