Matt Burchfield

Matt Burchfield is a Wilson County producer, educator, and community volunteer running for the Democratic nomination for Tennessee House of Representatives District 57. A film and commercial producer and director, he was drawn to public service by his father, a police officer, and his Naval Corpsman grandfather. He is running to bring practical solutions to issues like rising costs for families, rather than political theater. Burchfield advocates for increased investment in public education, criticizing the state's low per-student spending and use of private school vouchers. He also stresses the need for focused leadership to tackle Tennessee's pressing infrastructure and traffic congestion problems.
