Our Guest

This week is Matt Rogers!

Matt is an Arlington, VA young husband, condo renter, youth sports coach, precinct captain, doting dog-father, Chief of Staff for a Virginia state senator, and the owner of a political consulting firm that prioritizes recruiting and assisting candidates in races far too often left unattended by Party leadership. Over the last few months, he has assisted in successfully recruiting candidates in every single Florida state legislative district for the 2020 election cycle. After completing his undergraduate degree in Political Science and minoring in Criminal Justice, & Religious Studies at VCU in Richmond, Matt’s then-fiancée, now-wife and he chose Ballston as the place to begin their family. Since that time, Matt has coached over a dozen flag football and youth basketball teams in Arlington and has become a frequent volunteer in the community, including on the Board of Arlington Independent Media and the local anti-poverty organization, Arlington Thrive — of which his wife serves as a member of the Board. In the final four days of the 2017 gubernatorial election alone, Matt knocked over 1,000 doors to help elect our Democratic Governor. Since 2017 alone, he's traveled the state recruiting candidates, knocking doors, and helping candidates raise over $275,000 to help Democrats win all three statewide offices, the State Senate & the House of Delegates.

Matt is running for this office because he's not only already an effective law-maker and team-player, but the kind of visible community leader the 47th District deserves.
