About Me
I’m Matt Evans, born and raised right here in Phoenix, where I’ve built a life centered around family, community, and a deep love for this city. As a proud parent of three amazing children—Ryder, Phoenix, and Oakley—I’ve dedicated myself not only to their future but to ensuring that Phoenix remains a place we can all be proud to call home.
My journey began at Arizona State University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Today, I bring my expertise to the tech industry as a Senior DevOps Engineer, specializing in building resilient infrastructures, troubleshooting complex challenges, and ensuring systems run smoothly. It’s a role that’s taught me the importance of problem-solving and innovation—skills I’ll bring to my work for the people of Phoenix.
Beyond my professional life, I’m a proud Christian, I find joy in showing miniature bull terriers and exploring the great outdoors with my family. Whether it’s fishing, hiking, photography, or simply enjoying our city’s beautiful parks, I cherish every moment spent reconnecting with nature and creating memories with those I love.
My decision to enter politics wasn’t planned—it was born out of frustration and determination. When faced with the possibility of leaving Phoenix due to rising challenges, I refused to give up. I realized our streets needed cleaning up, and our laws needed strong enforcement. I believe that politicians should serve the people, not special interests or campaign donors. That’s why I’ve stepped forward—to ensure that our city remains safe, prosperous, and fair for every resident.
As your representative, I’ll prioritize transparency, accountability, and the well-being of every citizen. Together, we’ll clean up our streets, enforce our laws, and build a brighter future for Phoenix—one that’s vibrant and full of opportunity for all.
Matt Evans for Phoenix Mayor
In the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, a city defined by its relentless sun and dynamic spirit, I, Matt Evans, a native of Phoenix, proudly call this place home. It's where I hope to raise my three children. But as I walk these streets, I feel the weight of unmet promises and overlooked challenges pressing down on us. The crisis of homelessness casts a shadow over our neighborhoods, while the inaction of our current leaders leaves us stranded in a city of lost opportunities.
For the past two decades, Phoenix has been led by the Democratic Party, with mayors like Phil Gordon, Greg Stanton, and Kate Gallego at the helm. But it's time to set a new tone in our city, to break free from the confines of partisan politics and embrace a fresh vision for Phoenix's future. Under Mayor Gallego's leadership, homelessness has soared, crime rates remain stubbornly high, and our streets feel less safe than ever before.
I'm tired of the same old politics – the empty promises, the lack of action. And I'm fed up with the way our current mayor claims to be moderate but seems more interested in serving her party than our people. That's why I'm stepping up to run against her. I refuse to be swayed by big money or partisan agendas. My only allegiance is to you – the hardworking people of Phoenix who deserve a leader who will fight for your interests above all else. I believe in a Phoenix where every family has a place to call home and every child has a chance to thrive. I believe in a city where leadership isn't about party politics or special interests but about serving the needs of the people who call this place home.
But I can't do it alone. I need your support to make our vision a reality. By supporting my campaign, you're not just endorsing a candidate; you're taking a stand for the future of Phoenix. You're saying no to politics as usual and yes to a new era of leadership that puts the needs of the people first. So, let's make our voices heard. Let's show that in Phoenix, it's the people who call the shots. Together, we can build a brighter future for our city and for generations to come.
My thoughts on our current Mayor, Kate Gallego
I created this page to shed light on the many failures of Kate Gallego's administration, which have deeply impacted the people of Phoenix. As a mayoral candidate, I believe it's crucial to hold leadership accountable. From the rising homelessness crisis to the lack of transparency in city government, Gallego has repeatedly let us down. This page isn't just a critique—it's an indictment of her failed leadership and a call for real change in Phoenix. Click the button below to see first hand.
