Matthew Tsai
As an extremely active and devoted member of the school and community, Matthew has definitely established himself as a potent presidential candidate in this campaign so far. He is a captain of the Methacton High School Swim Team, Vice President of Methacton FBLA, chief adviser to the Methacton Quiz Bowl Team, and a member of the secretariat of the Methacton Model United Nations Team. Needless to say, he is no newcomer to the challenges of leadership. Outside of school, Matthew is a member of the Boys Scouts of America, has served as a summer camp counselor for his local Chinese school, and is a front end associate at his local Giant. He seems to aptly exemplify his party’s headstrong and committed attitude.
Some cons of this candidate to take note of, however: Matt’s behavior during his campaign so far seems to be more on the aggressive side, often personally attacking other candidates for participating in school traditions. He has also been found sleeping in certain classes by his fellow peers; although sleeping on classroom desks in Spanish may be condonable, we wouldn’t want him doing that on the Oval Office desk.
Matthew’s campaign is primarily focused on the issues of gun control, environmental protection, healthcare, security, and education. In terms of gun control, their focus is more on limiting the influx of guns rather than policy implementation for directly protecting citizens. He supports President Clinton's rifle ban and hopes that limiting the supply of illegal weapons will take care of gun violence.
He also believes in a strong military and strong border security especially along the south, seeks to eliminate fossil fuel use by 2040 and start initiatives to clean up our oceans, and supports Universal Healthcare for all. Lastly, his campaign promises to provide quality education for all children regardless of their familial income status by raising taxes on the wealthy. Overall, his goals seem to be an eclectic mix and match of liberal and conservative.
Matthew is supported by his talented team consisting of Campaign Manager: Vincent Zhang, Political Advisor Zach Sorgini, and Communications Director Krishna Pillutla.
