AUSTIN — Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT) today endorsed Matt Rinaldi for State Representative in House District 115. Mr. Rinaldi is seeking the Republican nomination for the open Dallas County seat currently held by State Rep. Jim Jackson, who is retiring.
“After looking at all of the candidates in this race, it is clear that Matt Rinaldi is the conservative choice and a favorite of the strong grassroots movement in North Texas. With a proven conservative record and the support of the community, Matt will be enabled to execute his vision of limited government in the Texas House,” said Jeff Morris, YCT State Chairman.
“We were all very impressed with Matt Rinaldi when we had a chance to meet with him,” said Tony McDonald, YCT Senior Vice Chairman. “Not only does he understand and profess the conservative values which we all agree this state needs, he has a proven record of fighting for them. Matt Rinaldi is exactly the sort of leader that conservative voters not only need, but deserve.”
Rinaldi commented, “I am excited that YCT is supporting me in my fight for limited government, lower taxes, and individual liberty in the State of Texas. As State Representative, I will be honored to stand alongside these young and enthusiastic conservative leaders.”
