  • Parents helped start the first neighborhood association in Nashville

Proven leadership in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors

  • Led economic and community development for three mayors over eight years
  • During that time, the unemployment rate in Nashville fell from 8.1% to 2.0% and the city added more than 42,000 jobs
  • Developed the city’s first small business incentive program, which provided assistance to business owners who invested in neglected neighborhoods
  • Was the Chair of the Board of Hands On Nashville during the May 2010 flood
  • Spent fifteen years working in the private sector helping companies grow

Has delivered on affordable housing

  • While in the Mayor’s Office, developed a 10-year, $750 million affordable housing plan with public and private investment and moved to MDHA, Nashville’s public housing authority, to help implement the plan
  • During his three years there, MDHA opened six new mixed-income, affordable housing developments with more than 525 units
  • Negotiated with Amazon to invest more than $7.0 million in MDHA’s next mixed-income affordable housing development

Knows how to listen and understands each child is unique

  • Most importantly, Matt is married to Crissy Wieck and together they have six children
  • Each of the kids has attended public schools in Nashville for some or all of their schooling – except for the youngest, who is only four and she’ll start MNPS next year!
  • We know that you have to find the right school for each child and in our house alone we have tried traditional-zoned public, charter, Spanish-immersion, private and magnet schools
  • Matt currently serves on the Board of the PTSO at Hillsboro High School

Matt will work tirelessly for you
