MY OPPONENT IS HELL-BENT ON SMEARING ME. HERE'S MY RESPONSE!

Let’s cut to the chase. While I’ve been open and transparent about my own history—you can read all about it on my website—my opponent and his allies have been busy hiding their own financial messes.

Here’s just a small, RECENT, sampling, a taste if you will, of what they don’t want you to know:

• U.S. Bankruptcy Court: Matthew Oliver Benton & Sheila L. Benton

• Bank of New York vs. Matthew O. Benton

• Midfirst Bank vs. Matthew O. Benton

• Capital One Bank vs. Matthew O. Benton

• Arlington Printing & Stationers vs. Matthew Benton

• American Express (AXEP) vs. Matthew O. Benton

• Blane Oney Construction vs. Matthew Benton

• Chrysler Financial vs. Matthew Benton

His recent financial problems? Solved the moment he sold his soul to a failed former commissioner who funneled a quarter-million dollars’ worth of business his way. In return for this windfall, my opponent has given his undying loyalty over the last four years on the City Commission.

Need proof? Ask yourself this: Has there ever been an issue where my opponent hasn’t sided with those hell-bent on destroying the city?

While he was securing favors and protecting his backers, I was working hard to become an IRS Enrolled Agent, helping everyday people solve their financial challenges with honesty and integrity. I believe in transparency and accountability—that’s why I’ve been upfront about my past, and I’ll continue to stand by the truth.

Winter Springs deserves better than this. You deserve a leader who’s focused on solutions, not someone whose track record is filled with shady deals and backroom favors.
