EARLY LIFE & EDUCATION

Raised in Tempe, Matt attended public schools, graduated from Arizona State University, and later earned a masterโ€™s degree from Brigham Young University. After completing his education, he worked as an executive with a major telecommunications firm in Arizona.


PUBLIC SERVICE

Mattโ€™s career in public service began in 1990 when he defeated an incumbent member of the Arizona Senate in the Republican primary. Four years later, he was elected to represent Arizonaโ€™s First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

During his time in Congress, Matt was named a โ€œDefender of Libertyโ€ and earned the โ€œTaxpayer Heroโ€ award from Citizens Against Government Waste. Among Mattโ€™s many legislative accomplishments was the sponsoring and passing of โ€œAimeeโ€™s Law,โ€ a measure that gave โ€œno second chancesโ€ for rapists, molesters, and murderers.

After honoring his term limit pledge and leaving Congress in 2001, Matt went back to the private sector where he experienced firsthand the obstacles many Arizonans face when trying to grow a small business. As he watched the size of our government and our national debt explode and our individual freedoms shrink, he decided to return to public service.

With support from conservative leaders across the country, Salmon was twice elected to represent Arizonaโ€™s Fifth Congressional District.

Matt was a leader in the fight to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a system that offers more affordable options to patients and puts them in charge of their healthcare โ€“ not government bureaucrats.ย  He also served as chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, a committee of particular importance to border states like Arizona, where he worked to help secure the release of U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi after he was imprisoned in Mexico. Visit the Salmon For Governor Website
