Matthew Crescenzo

Matt Crescenzo is committed to the ideals and spirit of public service. Coming of age during the War on Terror, Matt served on the front lines in Afghanistan as a security officer for high ranking dignitaries as part of the effort to protect the American homeland. Now he wants to make the government more responsive to the residents of 9th Essex.

Born and raised in Saugus, Matt wants a government focused on the concerns of the people. He wants a government that understands that workers who put in a 40-hour week are entitled to a living wage, that we need to do more to combat the opioid epidemic, and that a young single mother and her child shouldn't be condemned to a life of poverty and that opportunity should never be taken away from someone before they're even too old to realize it.

Matt knows that strong leadership rooted in the values of the community can help make real change. Matt will work to create jobs, protect the environment and ensure that everyone in the community feels they have real opportunity.
