Matthew Willard – Let’s Get to Know Each Other

During the next few months, I’ll be going all over the city to listen to your needs and ideas. I hope you will take the opportunity to meet me where you live and work.

I was born in New Orleans East and raised in Gentilly. I attended elementary school at Corpus Christi, went to Stuart Hall for middle school, and graduated from Jesuit High School. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of New Orleans.

My father, Dominic, is a small business owner. I spent my summers as a teenager working on construction sites with him. My mother, Terrie, is a retired public school teacher, and I grew up doing my homework during her UTNO meetings. I am the grandson of education and civil rights leaders Dr. Elliot and Mary Jane Willard and the nephew of former City Councilmember Cynthia Willard-Lewis. Public service runs through my blood, and I have a passion for serving my community.

I’ve been truly humbled by the show of support since announcing for Council At-Large, Division 1. If you’d like to join the campaign, please click the link below to request a yard sign. – Matt
