Matt Boyd submitted his formal declaration today to be a candidate in the upcoming caucus to fill the Whitley County Council At-Large seat being vacated by Councilman Jim Banks on November 2, 2010.
“I have been interested in government since my freshman year in college and believe the Council At-Large seat is the perfect opportunity for me to serve my county,” said Boyd.
“My experience in dealing with complex tax and regulatory laws for Indiana businesses has prepared me well for this position," added Boyd. "At this point in our Nation’s history we need local leaders who are fiscally and socially responsible and who can render unbiased decisions on spending the tax dollars of Whitley County’s citizens."
"I am motivated to support ideas and policies that will allow small businesses to thrive and provide jobs for our residents,” Boyd concluded.
Boyd is the corporate counsel at Boyd Machine & Repair Co., Inc. and Light Beam Technology, Inc., a 36 year old family business headquartered near Wolf Lake. Before joining the family business, Boyd worked at CPA firms in Fort Wayne and in Virginia.
In 2001, Boyd joined his father and older brother in the family’s industrial services business that operates two plants in Indiana and one in West Virginia. Boyd’s responsibilities go beyond law and into accounting and day to day operations of the business. His primary focus is on the legal and tax issues that small businesses deal with on a daily basis.
Boyd is a member of the Columbia City Rotary Club, a Whitley County Republican Party precinct committeeman and a former member of the board of directors of Faith Christian Academy of Whitley County.
Boyd and his wife Dawn live near Columbia City with their four children. They are members of Trinity Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Columbia City.
