For the past three years, I’ve enjoyed meeting so many of you, both in Washington and around the beautiful East Valley. Unfortunately, this great honor brings with it a heavy price tag. Spending so much time in Washington, D.C. means I get to spend very little of it back home with my beautiful wife Nancy and my beloved children and grandchildren.
Over these past three years, I’ve learned that’s just too great a sacrifice to make, and so it’s with a heavy heart that I must announce I will not be seeking reelection this November.
I wrote an opinion piece about this in the Arizona Republic this morning – I invite you to read it so you understand a little more about why I came to this difficult decision.
I look forward to spending my remaining months in office making sure your interests are represented and any problems you have are quickly dealt with.
It’s been an absolute privilege to serve you. Nancy and I will forever be grateful for all your support.
Sincerely,
Matt Salmon
