Matt Barton State Representative

This is today. Don’t miss out.

Here is an opportunity to meet one of our candidates running for governor. Come, meet, ask questions and be involved in the process.

With worsening drought and spreading wildfires, our state, our communities, and our farmers are facing increasingly dangerous conditions that are taking a real toll on livelihoods and daily life.

We’re keeping everyone affected in our thoughts and praying for rain, relief, and protection—especially for the first responders and farmers working tirelessly on the front lines of these challenges.
