Matt Winslow is a native North Carolinian from the northeastern part of our great state. His first paid job at sixteen years old was cleaning out hog houses, as the grandson of a multi-generational farmer, it was something he felt qualified to do. Born to a teen mom, Matt knows what it's like to depend on the government for basic needs, but he also saw how hard his mother worked to be able to eventually support her family without assistance. That kind of upbringing made him not only compassionate for others, but it drove him to overcome adversity.

Because of his life experiences, Matt has always given back to his community by serving at church, adopting local public schools, partnering with Wake County Habitat for Humanity, The Education Foundation, and Homes for Hope. As a proponent of supporting the local community, Matt has invested in his community by purchasing and restoring downtown buildings to help revitalize the area. For his exceptional leadership skills, he was named C12's Member of the Year. For the past five years, Matt's company, Winslow Homes has been voted The Wake Weekly's Best of the Best for Local Builder, and a WRAL Viewer's Choice Best Builder. More recently, Winslow Homes was awarded Business of the Year by the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce.

Married to his high school sweetheart, Matthew lives on a farm in Franklin County with his wife, Marquita, their kids, Delaney and Hudson, and two super spoiled canine rescues.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in North Carolina

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
