Matt McCoy Seeks Seat on Metro Council

Matt McCoy has announced his candidacy for Metro Council and released the following statement:

“Neighbors, friends, and residents of EBR Metro Council District 4, my name is Matthew McCoy and I am asking for your vote and confidence to serve as your next Councilman. I am a 29-year resident of Central, 35-year husband to Frances McCoy, father to the late Brett McCoy, and grandfather of three.”

“I am a native resident of Louisiana. Before and during this time I have lived in several locations around our state and country while on job assignments. Throughout my career I have worked in several different industries: fast food, casual dining, oilfield, non-destructive testing, and Quality Assurance (current). I love what I do, and I have been doing it for 33 years.”

“My job has taken me to many parts of the country and the world. I believe this gives me added insight as to how different municipalities operate. It also helps one understand more about what works for the people and, more importantly, what does not. I can promise you that I do not have all of the answers. But I will always listen to the people and do what is right and do it according to the law and the Constitution. It seems that today’s politicians are quick to make laws that are not legal. And to proclaim mandates that affect all of our liberties. My liberties matter; your liberties matter.”

“My top priorities are to stick to the basics of government: maintaining the roads and infrastructure and providing for the safety of the people through law enforcement.”

“I will stand as a strong Christian Conservative representative of our District. We all know that we must use compromise to make government work. But that does not mean that we must compromise our morals and plain common sense. The success of government is not through new taxes; its success is accomplished through controlling spending and managing the taxpayer’s money in a manner that is beneficial to all citizens.”

“District 4 has a great opportunity to draw new businesses to our area which will benefit everyone. I ask for your support to make it happen.
