Matthew Bradford

Matt Bradford is running for the 70th House District in Montgomery County, which includes East Norriton, Worcester, Towamencin, Lower Salford and Skippack. We have been working with Matt on strategy, message and fundraising, in order to ramp up his campaign. The district is a likely pick-up based on the fact that the Republican registration edge has been cut. Matt's opponent is Jay Moyer, a one-term incumbent with strong ties to conservative Gov. Tom Ridge's administration. Matt makes a strong case for sound economic development and equitable allocation of state dollars to support education initiatives in his districts' public schools. Matt has been an outspoken champion for quality public education as solicitor for the Norristown School Board, and he has a pro-labor track-record as solicitor for the Norristown Municipal Authority. He is also a former Chief-of-Staff to one of our most ardent progressive champions and 2007 farm-team member, former Congressman and current County Commissioner, Hon. Joe Hoeffel. Matt has strong ties to labor and is a past member of the United Steel Workers Union. Matt is personally committed to an aggressive door-to-door direct-voter-contact-program starting now and continuing thorough Election Day. He has been endorsed by the Montgomery County Democratic Committee. In order to expand the one-seat Democratic majority in the State House, we have targeted critical pick-up districts where progressive candidates are likely to win. The 70th State House District fits the criterion.
