Who is this Winterhawk Guy?
Matthew Winterhawk isn’t running for office to become someone. He’s running because he already is someone a father, husband, entrepreneur, educator, and leader who represents everything Nevadans are craving in politics but never see.
When COVID brought Nevada to its knees, Winterhawk didn’t look for a bailout he built a lifeline. He took full responsibility for his children’s education, homeschooling his son Ricky (9) and daughter Ava (7), while running several small businesses in the Las Vegas valley, including ATM and tech services, as well as a growing import/export company. While others waited for help, he did what Nevadans do best: figured it out and fought back.
He also launched SmartSlaps.com, a nonprofit that supports schools and libraries with transparent, student-focused funding solutions that put communities not politics first. His leadership style reflects five core values his children live by every day:
accountability, responsibility, transparency, honesty, and being a good person.
As an author and critical thinker, his wrote books available at amazon.com/author/seektruth that challenge the mainstream and question the status quo. He teaches his children from Black’s Law Dictionary and Webster’s 1828 Dictionary, building a foundation rooted in truth, integrity, and independent thought everything missing from today's broken education system.
In 2022, Winterhawk led the We Will Not Be Silent (WWNBS) movement, a national outcry against the abuse and neglect happening in America’s schools. He stood with families in Plainview, Texas, helping expose the horrific story of a 6-year-old girl assaulted by classmates while a school system looked away. Where politicians stayed silent, he showed up because he always will.
He’s not asking for donations. He’s not backed by PACs.
He’s offering something different:
A zero-dollar campaign. A contract with the people. And a Nevada First mission.
Winterhawk believes elected officials should serve, not rule.
That’s why his platform is simple:
Meet with the people. Fight for the people. Answer only to the people.
He’s not trying to be polished. He’s not trying to impress donors.
He’s trying to bring common sense, conviction, and courage back to the halls of Nevada’s government.
Because what Nevada needs now… is someone who’s already been where you are. And never forgot what it means to earn respect, not buy it.
🔥 My Top Issue: Fixing Education. Ending Indoctrination.
Nevada’s education system is broken and families know it. Parents are pulling their kids from public schools not because they want to, but because they have to. Violence is rising. Accountability is gone. And classrooms meant for learning are now battlegrounds for agendas.
Jonathan Lewis Jr should still be alive.
17 years old Forever
Beaten to death outside a school in Clark County, his story is one of many that exposes a dangerous truth: when schools prioritize politics over protection, students suffer.
As a father and former homeless youth who had to grow up fast, I’ve seen firsthand what happens when children are left to fend for themselves. I won’t let Nevada keep failing its kids.
We will:
- 🔒 Remove gender ideology and adult content from classrooms.
- 🛑 End the normalization of predators parading under fake progress.
- 🧠 Bring back critical thinking, history, and real-world skills.
- 👨👩👧👦 Protect parents’ rights and restore their power in education.
We don’t need more indoctrination. We need education. And I’m not here to debate it I’m here to fix it.
🛡️My involvement
In 2023, when a 6-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by classmates in Plainview, Texas, and the school tried to cover it up, I didn’t wait for headlines I got involved.
Through We Will Not Be Silent (WWNBS), a movement I helped organize to defend children and confront corruption in our schools, I traveled with my family to support the victim, her loved ones, and the local community. While officials dodged accountability, I stood face-to-face with the truth: America’s children are being failed, and too many people in power are silent about it.
I helped organize rallies, recorded interviews, gathered community support, and exposed the cowardice of those who protected the institution instead of the child.
I do the work others are too scared to do.
I’ve spoken out against:
- The erosion of parental rights
- The spread of gender ideology and adult content in schools
- The silencing of victims and families
- The normalization of dangerous behaviors and the erasure of boundaries
As someone who experienced trauma and was kicked out of his home at a young age, I know what it means to be failed by the system. That’s why I refuse to let another child be ignored, gaslit, or reprogrammed under the false banner of "progress."
Nevada’s kids deserve:
- 📚 Education, not indoctrination
- 🛡️ Protection, not politics
- 🗣️ A voice, not silence
When no one else shows up I do.
And I always will.
Nevada First. Always.
