Workforce housing
The people who cook our meals, care for our parents, and teach our kids should be able to live in the town they serve.
Town council · Yountville · November 3
A real town for the people who live and work here
01
And when my neighbor asked me why I wasn't running for Council, I realized I had far more reasons to step up than to stay on the sidelines.
I love this town. My daughter, my family, and I walk through Yountville and know our neighbors, use the parks, stop and talk to people, and feel incredibly lucky that this is where we get to live. I want her, and other families and neighbors to have the opportunity to build a life here too.
I think Yountville is at an important point in its future. We can continue being the world-class agricultural and hospitality community we're known for while making sure this remains a real town for the people who live and work here.

Agriculture is why this valley exists. Keeping land in production keeps Yountville a place that grows something, not just a place that sells it.
Our restaurants and inns are world-class because of the people in them. Good jobs here should support a life here.
Our neighbors at the Home are constituents, not a landmark. They deserve a standing seat at the table.

Replace this section with Matt's real biography. A useful shape: where he's from and how he got to Yountville, what his doctorate is in and what he does for work, his family, and any local service — commissions, boards, volunteer roles, coaching, church, the Community Center.
Close with one paragraph on how his training shapes the way he'd serve: asking for the analysis before the vote, publishing what he finds, and saying plainly when the numbers don't support what he hoped.
Keep it to about 200 words. People read the first paragraph and skim the rest.
