Senator Paul has endorsed Marine Corps veteran and former Mecklenburg County Commissioner Matthew Ridenhour for the GOP nomination in North Carolina's 9th District special election. Ridenhour served two tours in Iraq, clearing IEDs and providing convoy security in Al-Anbar province. Returning home, he founded the Charlotte Tea Party organization and was elected as a Ron Paul National Delegate to the 2012 RNC. He was then elected to the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners in 2012, serving three terms. During his time there, he convinced a Democrat-majority board to protect the right of Concealed Carry Permit Holders to carry their weapons in county parks, led the effort to correct a property tax revaluation error that returned $70 million to homeowners, and used his accounting background to secure the funding for a teacher pay increase WITHOUT raising taxes.
Matthew is running against a field of 9 other Republicans, and is grateful to have Senator Paul's support. Learn more about him at https://voteridenhour.com/
