Matthew Williams was born February 23rd, 1998 in Germantown, Tennessee, and is the oldest of three children. Raised in Olive Branch and Hernando, Mississippi, he went to Lewisburg High School, where he was active in service projects, played in the marching band, and served as the drama club president, graduating in 2016. Williams studied theatre at Northwest Mississippi Community College, creative writing and journalism at Arkansas State University, and secondary education at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Originally planning to attend law school and run for public office, he started his teaching career after substitute teaching for DeSoto County Schools, the largest public school district in Mississippi, during a gap year at home from university. He quickly discovered a passion for education, as well as a fascination for working with the future generations of our society. He’s since amassed several years of teaching experience in public, private, and homeschool settings throughout Mississippi, Texas, and Alaska.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Folks and People, let me be clear: the people that we’ve elected to be our Representatives do not have our well-being or best interests in mind.

And speaking of Increased Representation, did you know that American Samoa is the only territory of the United States that doesn’t grant its residents Birthright Citizenship? Under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” While this applies to admitted states and incorporated territories, it doesn’t apply to the unincorporated territories, like Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and Guam. Though provisions and exceptions have been made for other territories in legislation here and there, American Samoa remains the only territory where its residents are considered U.S. Nationals, instead of U.S. Citizens.

Under this technicality, the residents of American Samoa are unable to bear arms, work in federal government jobs, serve as officers in the U.S. Military, hold public office, or participate in government or politics in any way unless they apply to become naturalized U.S. Citizens, after meeting the same residency and immigration requirements we mandate for Foreign Nationals. American Samoa’s status as a territory of the United States should not make its residents mean less than the residents of U.S. States living anywhere else. They serve in our military, and pay taxes like we do, and for a country that prides itself on being built on principles like “No Taxation Without Representation” to deny them birthright citizenship, it isn’t right.

We should attempt to establish diplomatic relations with countries we don’t currently have relations with, like Iran or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. We should establish new diplomatic missions abroad, and improve or maintain our current ones to nurture good relationships with other nations. Further, I believe we should offer humanitarian aid to other countries whenever possible.

I will fight for Congress to “make provisions for a delegate” and increase the Representation of the Choctaw Nation in Congress, as promised in the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek (1830), as well as the Lenape People, as promised in the Treaty of Fort Pitt (1788). I will also fight to have Delegates from the Cherokee Nation and United Keetoowah Band, named in 2019 and 2021 but never allowed by Congress to take office, despite being promised in the Treaty of Hopewell (1785) and Treaty of New Echota (1835), finally seated and recognized. I will also fight for the Representation of more Tribes and Peoples. Congress has never “made provisions” or plans (as it’s promised) to allow any Tribe to appoint Delegates or Representatives, which sucks tremendously for the 229+ Alaska Native tribes living here. I think it’s high time that’s changed.

I will also see to it that more regulations are put in place on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), both in the classroom and in everyday life. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to distinguish what’s real from what’s fake, and as the technology advances, it’s being used more and more for increasingly problematic purposes.

With inflation rapidly driving up the already-high cost of living, not only in our Great State, but everywhere in our country, it’s important now more than ever for our Government to do more to keep our citizens’ heads above water, like stopping inflation and raising wages. It’s also important that we stop increasing the amount of taxes we have to pay, and that we redirect what we’re currently spending so that the revenue is put to better use. Taxes aren’t inherently a bad thing, as long as they’re being put toward something that benefits everyone. We need to change how our money’s being spent, so that it goes to things that we can use, and not to funding personal salaries or projects. We also need to do more to support agriculture and small businesses, as these are vital parts of our state’s economy, and should be protected as such.

We need to increase teacher salaries and secure our schools, so that they’re safer and more efficient learning environments for our children. We should also do more to ensure students are being taught to their full potential, with their talents encouraged, and taught about real-world survival skills, not just forced to adhere to curricula that only teach to the passing of standardized tests.

As tensions continue to rise around the world, it’s crucial that we do whatever we can to protect all of our citizens, both here and abroad, and that we promote peace and solve problems diplomatically to prevent conflicts from escalating. I do not believe regime change should be the answer; installing an American Puppet State in countries you disagree with should never be the way to settle a conflict.

We need to do more to protect the environment and to prevent climate change. We need to invest more in alternative energy sources that are safer, more cost-effective, and less harmful to the environment. Further, we need to stop pollution and introduce more legislation to ensure big corporations do the same. We should also do more to protect endangered species and their habitats from extinction.

According to the U.S. Census, in 2024, only 74% of the eligible population of our country was registered to vote, and only about 64% actually voted in the General Election. As the supposed leader of the Free World, we should be doing more to encourage our citizens to participate in our Democracy, and to be educated about politics and the workings of our Government. We should also loosen restrictions to make it easier for our eligible citizens to register to vote. Further, we should give easier ballot access to Third Parties and Independent Candidates to discourage the de facto Two-Party State System.

The pieces of my Platform, and many of my beliefs in general, have bases in Scripture, and in our Nation’s Constitution. I believe in the United States as our Founding Fathers set out to create it: a United States where all of its citizens are created equally by our Heavenly Father, where we have rights that cannot be taken or infringed upon, and where everyone gets a say in how our country is run.

Misinformation and disinformation are running rampant on social media and in our news. We need to start teaching media literacy and research skills to our students and children, to show them how to recognize credible academic sources and reliable news sources. Banning “Fake News” outright would just be a violation of our First Amendment Constitutional Rights; it should never be up to the Feds to decide what’s Real or Fake News. But something has to be done about the people who are out there using technology to intentionally spread disinformation and cause division and unrest amongst our populace.

Neither side is good. The Democrats and Republicans claim that they’re different from each other, that they’re two opposing forces that disagree and can’t stand each other, but it’s all an act. They’re at each others’ throats in the media, hurling insults back and forth and bickering with one another over hot buzz-word topics when the cameras are rolling, but in the long run we can see this feud is strictly performative. Their animosities and their beef completely disappear when it comes to keeping the status quo maintained and protecting our current class structure.

Well, I’m a teacher, as you may have heard me mention a few times, and as such, I’m a strong supporter of education in all forms. I firmly believe that quality education is a fundamental necessity for creating a brighter future, whether it comes from a public school, private school, or from being homeschooled, and I believe that we need to do more to ensure that wherever it comes from, our children are learning in safe, efficient, and actually educational environments.

Official filings may be amended after publication.
No federal total attaches without one exact FEC identity and compatible current report. Missing values are not zero.
Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.
Reason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED
Candidate-stated prior service and similar names never attach another person's records.
Every profile claim points back to retained source evidence.
