I have known Matt and his wife Nancy personally for decades. He is honest. He is one of the few (now former) US Congressmen who kept their term limits promise from the time he was originally elected. When in Congress, he refused to personally benefit financially from insider information; something that most Congress criters cannot honestly say.
After the 3 terms he promised, he stepped down. He is politically quite conservative... His political “sin” was that back in the time when Mitt Romney was a candidate for President, Salmon helped Romney fund raise. A big mistake when he has since come to regret completely when Romney’s true colors became apparent.
Yeah. Supporting the Romney…. That is a real tar baby.
