About Matt

I’m Matt Morgan—a public servant, husband, father, and someone who’s dedicated my life to fighting for the values that make Maryland strong. Representing Northern St. Mary’s County, District 29A, as your Delegate and serving as Chairman of the Maryland Freedom Caucus means I’m constantly on the front lines, standing up for your freedoms and challenging the political status quo in Annapolis. For me, it all boils down to one simple principle: government should work for you, not against you.

I was born just outside of La Plata, Maryland, and have lived in Southern Maryland my entire life. Much of my childhood was spent working with my Dad on our family-owned tobacco farm. Before stepping into public office, I spent years in the private sector, rolling up my sleeves and building a career managing successful businesses.

Those experiences opened my eyes to just how harmful burdensome regulations and endless red tape can be, especially for small businesses. I saw firsthand how the deck is stacked in favor of political favorites while hardworking entrepreneurs are left to struggle. That’s the reality I refused to accept—so I decided to do something about it. With the support of my wife, Kathy, and our two children, Tyler and Sarah, I’ve worked to bring change. My background as an IT professional and Realtor shaped me into someone who thrives under pressure and doesn’t back down when the stakes are high.

But my leadership wasn’t just forged in the workplace; it was also born on the racetrack. Racing taught me that hesitation kills, and excuses don’t win championships. Pushing limits, making quick decisions, and staying focused in the face of challenges—these are the lessons I bring to the political arena. I’m not here to play it safe. I’m here to solve problems and deliver results.

Please take a look at what we’ve accomplished together. When our roads and bridges were falling apart, I didn’t just complain—I took action. With your support, I championed major highway projects that made daily life better for our community, fixing infrastructure that connects us to work, school, and home. When I saw government and insurance companies standing between patients and life-saving treatments, I wrote and passed the Right to Try 2.0 legislation. This law empowers you and your doctor to make healthcare decisions without unnecessary government interference.

I’ve also fought to protect our local businesses from being crushed by corporate giants. Prescription costs continue to rise, and large pharmacy monopolies are driving smaller pharmacies out of business. That’s why I passed legislation to level the playing field, ensuring local pharmacies can thrive and you, the consumer, have a choice. And when it came to property taxes, I didn’t stand by while the government delayed appeal decisions, forcing you to pay higher assessments. I passed a law to stop those delays, ensuring you get a fair and timely resolution.

The political establishment wants you to believe that nothing gets done without their blessing. They thrive on division and gridlock, constantly pushing for policies that benefit their own self-interest. But I know that good ideas can come from anywhere. While staying true to my conservative principles, I co-sponsored 135 Democrat-led bills this past term that are now law. Why? Because when an idea benefits our community, it doesn’t matter who proposes it. I believe in solutions and standing up for what is right, because that’s how we can fix Maryland for generations to come.

“When I had nowhere else to turn, Matt Morgan listened. He didn’t just hear my problem; he fought for a solution.”

For me, this work isn’t about politics—it’s personal. Whether I’m advocating for common-sense solutions in the State House or hosting town halls in our backyards, I’m here to represent you, fight for our values, and build a better future for Maryland.

This is what drives me: integrity, action, and sticking up for those who cannot defend themselves. Together, we’ll keep pushing for a stronger, freer, more prosperous Maryland—one where government works for you, not the other way around. Let’s keep fighting for what matters most.
