Born on the 24th of August, 1980, Matthew John Walker was born into a middle-class family, with his mother being a Nurse and his father being an electrician. He was born in Portland, Oregon, and lived there for most of his childhood. He did OK in school, with him passing Middle School and the first few years of High school. However, after his second year in High school, Matt was forced to move to Washington due to the declining health of his grandparents. He would start his final years in Moses Lake High School, with him fitting in pretty easily. While in Moses Lake High School, he would become a prominent member of both the Key Club and the Track Team.
Matthew would graduate and go on to attend the University of Washington, studying Civil and Environmental Engineering. He enjoyed the major as it was quite hands-on and he enjoyed working with his hands. Also during this time, his grandfather would pass away, leaving him a small amount of money and his hardware store. Matthew was devastated as he had grown close with his grandfather since he moved to Washington. He would continue his studies in the University of Washington and graduate in 2001. He would return to Moses Lake and immediately began running the Hardware Store, which would continue to grow and become his main source of income.
2004 would come around, with Matt enjoying a relatively easy life. This would also be the year that Matt decided to run for City Council as he believed the taxes on small business was too high. He would get elected after it being a close race and begin his term on the city council. While sitting on City Council, he has seen a voice for small business, with him proposing many amendments to lower business tax and council rates during his tenure. He would serve another four years on the city council before running for the State House in 2012 for the 13th District. The primary was close, but due to how well he was known within Moses City, Matt pulled ahead, winning the primary and later winning the seat. He would also actively campaign for the not-Romney during 2012.
While in the State House, Matt would build up connections with senior GOP members and with lobbyists. He would also meet with small business interest groups. Matt would also be a critic of newly elected Governor Anne Caldwell, with him taking issue with the first budget she tried to pass. He viewed the first budget as 'overspending', stating that if the budget passed it would be disastrous on the middle class and small business. He would later vote for the bipartisan budget. During this time, he would often appear on the media, speaking on any network that would air him. Matt would also try many times to cut corporation tax, however, due to the composition of the State House, these bills would rarely make it out of committee.
After two terms in the Washington House of Representatives, Matt decided to run to the newly vacated 4th Congressional District. Again, this Primary would be contested, with an attorney and a Mayor running for the seat, however, due to Matt's connections with the State House GOP and the media connections he made, he would come ahead of his main opponent, the Mayor of a town. Matt would constantly poll higher than the mayor and gain the endorsements of some former colleges in Moses Lake. Come election day, Matt would gain 51% of the vote, with him taking the seat.
While in the House of Representatives, Matt has been a Wolf ally, with him supporting the President in nearly all of his decisions and bills. He would become a critic of the Democrats, saying that the Democrats are trying to tarnish a President that was elected for the people and by the people. He supported the Wolf Tax Cuts, saying in an interview, small businesses throughout America will be cheering tonight, knowing that they no longer have to support failed Government programs brought in by the previous administration and that the US will likely see an Economic Boom.
Matt would like to work his way up the Party leadership within the House of Representatives. He also plans to support Small Business wherever he can
