MATT STOOD AGAINST RECKLESS SPENDING
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!“As our legislator, MATT WINGARD revealed billions of dollars in government waste, fraud and abuse bureaucrats didn’t want us to know about. Matt exposed massive unfunded liabilities at Tri-met and a government cover-up of a billion dollars in corporate tax giveaways. Matt is the taxpayer’s best friend in Salem.” --Jason Williams, Taxpayers Association of Oregon PAC
“MATT WINGARD voted against cutting our public schools during both the 2009 and 2010 legislative sessions. He showed the Legislature how to balance the budget without harming our schools. When Salem tried to shutdown public schools serving more than 3,500 special needs children, Matt fought them and won.” --State Senator Larry George, Sherwood
Matt kept his word by:

--Supporting an ethanol-free gasoline option for Oregonians
