Voting For Matthew DeGlopper Is A Smart Decision - And Response

  • Wednesday, October 5, 2016

I care about East Ridge.  I want a city councilman that is transparent, honest, has new and fresh ideas and most important... will make intelligent changes for a better East Ridge.  I'm making a smart decision and voting for Matthew DeGlopper.   

He will fight to eliminate wasteful spending and not raise taxes.  He is going to shut down extended stays and clean up crime.  He wants to cut red tape and promote small business growth towards the Ringgold Road tunnels.  

I have known him for years and can know just how passionate, this intelligent business-minded man is about making East Ridge a better place to live and do business.  Don't take my word for it just look at his website and you will see for yourself he is a different kind of candidate.

I have known Matthew for almost six years, and have seen his desire to help improve his city of East Ridge grow over time. He is not a politician, but a concerned citizen with the desire to help change the ideas that have persisted far too long.

Matthew is one of the smartest gentlemen that I know, and has the ability to think problems through in a logical manner. He will be a new voice for the citizens.

A vote for Matthew is a step toward a brighter future for East Ridge.
