About Us
Who we are
A grassroots group of neighbors working for honest, common-sense leadership in Aberdeen Township.
Matthew Braithwaite is running for Aberdeen Township Council because he believes in protecting what makes this town a great place to raise a family, while making sure it continues to grow and thrive for years to come.
A resident of the Strathmore section of Aberdeen, Matt and his wife, Nicolette, are raising their three young children — two boys and a baby girl. Originally from Pennsylvania, he holds a Bachelor of Science from Misericordia University and a Master of Science from The New School, and works as a Senior Client Success Manager at a large technology company, where he specializes in data collection and analytics. He is a member of Matawan Lodge 192 and a parishioner at St. Benedict’s Church. Matt approaches this race as a father, neighbor, and community member who understands what’s at stake — and is ready to serve.
What We Believe
Our guiding principles
Aberdeen First
Focused on Aberdeen residents, not insiders or special interests. Matt is running to serve the families, seniors, and small businesses who call this town home.
Protecting What We Love
Aberdeen is a great place to raise a family, and it’s worth protecting. Matt will guard our neighborhoods and quality of life while making sure the town keeps growing and thriving for years to come.
Better, Together
The best ideas don’t belong to any one faction. Matt will bring real debate and a variety of viewpoints back to the Council, and work with anyone to get things done for Aberdeen.
