MEET CIJO MATHEWS
Hello, I'm Cijo Mathews, proof that the American Dream is still alive and well in Missouri! An accomplished entrepreneur here in St. Louis County, I started working when I was 15, supported myself through college, and went on to become a successful small business owner. But this was only possible because of the free market and the opportunities this great nation has to offer those who are willing to work hard.
​
I believe that our nation is at a great crossroads. Many are disillusioned by the current state of our economy and the instability they see across the world. They are tired of broken promises and empty words from career politicians.
More than ever, we need leaders in state government that will work hard to keep taxes low, cut burdensome red tape that is stifling economic growth, and block any attempts to curtail our constitutional rights.
We must listen to the concerns of the people, be willing to stand up for what's right, and return to the principles our Founding Fathers fought to preserve. As a Republican, I can bring effective, commonsense policy to the state legislature that, by working with my peers, has a real chance of making it across the finish line. That's something our current state representative has been unable to deliver — not a single bill he's sponsored has ever been passed during his four years in office.
​As an active member of our community, I'm ready to take the next step of running for political office. I never thought I'd see my name on a yard sign, but I am blessed to have the support of my neighbors, friends, and my two wonderful sons who have all encouraged me to embark on this journey. I hope I can earn your support to become the next state representative for Missouri House District 92 in St. Louis County!
