Our community deserves better than bloated government, backroom politics, and endless interference in people’s lives. Local government should be transparent, restrained, accountable, and focused on serving residents … not managing them. There’s still room for liberty at the local level if people are willing to fight for it.

My latest letter to the editor of the @wvbeacon beacononlinenews.com/article…

You don't have to oppose ICE to oppose this. If the DOJ is seeking to unmask anonymous Americans because they criticized a government agency, that's a direct threat to free speech and the First Amendment. Government should investigate crimes, not political dissent. Today it's ICE critics. Tomorrow it's you.

Thinking about running for local office here in Lake Helen. Should I?

Breaking news - I'm currently in the process of writing a book on why running as a Libertarian LOCALLY makes much more sense than running state wide and federally to lose to spread a message. This will obviously be a hot take and piss off some people. But the fact remains, if we keep running vanity campaigns that result in 1 - 3% max vote totals, what are we really accomplishing? Are we achieving "liberty in our lifetimes?" Are we actually making any progress towards reducing the size and scope of government? Are we growing membership, donors, and volunteers to support our candidates? These are all things that will be discussed at length with data to back it up. Stay tuned! #LocalLiberty

Anyone who witnessed 2016 - 2020 and is surprised by this, was likely dropped on their head at some point as a child.

I was honored to run for the Florida State House, District 29, as a voice for liberty, individual rights, and a government bound by its proper limits. Representing a principled stand on behalf of libertarian ideals has been a privilege, and I want to thank everyone who supported this journey—those who donated, shared our message, or spent their valuable time advancing our cause. Your hard work and dedication have been invaluable, and I’m deeply grateful. The reality is, we did not win this election. That outcome calls us to more than simply gratitude—it calls us to an honest assessment of where we succeeded and where we fell short. This is how we truly honor those who put their trust in us and lay the groundwork for future victories. Over the coming weeks, my team and I will take a hard look at our campaign's strengths and shortcomings. For those who may have insights or critiques from the outside, I invite you to share them with us by email at [email protected]. Your input is invaluable. Once our assessment is complete, we’ll share our findings with the state Libertarian Party and make them available to future liberty-minded candidates who seek to challenge the status quo. Thank you, once again, to everyone who believed in this campaign, stood with us, and gave generously of their resources. It's been an honor to carry the torch for liberty in Florida. In Liberty, Matt Johnson

Flooding from Hurricanes Helene & Milton isn’t just nature—it’s the result of reckless development, backfilled wetlands, and lack of infrastructure in Volusia County. Insurers are fleeing the state, leaving Floridians unprotected—all thanks to crony GOP policies. I’m Matt Johnson, and I’ll fight for real reforms that prioritize property rights, accountability, and free-market solutions.

Why vote for me? It's simple: mattforflhouse.com/why-elect…

Republicans and Democrats in office use disaster as a photo op. Libertarians like myself and @SnyderforFL have been out in the community helping those with damage. There's a clear difference. Vote wisely November 5th.

There are candidates who talk about representing the community, and there are those who are out in it when it matters. The family and I spent the day helping those in our community with hurricane Milton recovery and clean up efforts. Choose wisely November 5th.

This Hurricane will give Florida consumers the first look at the Republicans' new law that punishes homeowners and rewards insurance companies. Think about that when you head to the polls next month. Vote Gold!
