About Matt

Matt Lehman is a candidate for Kentucky State Representative for the 67th District in Northern Campbell County. 

Our district, and Northern Kentucky generally, is booming with new jobs and companies, infrastructure investment, and cultural activities, the likes of which were unthinkable a few decades ago. These developments are not an accident, but rather the result of responsible, forward-thinking community leadership. 

Significant work remains to ensure all of us have access to opportunities in our region.  Affordable housing is difficult to find.  Teachers in our public schools are badly underpaid.  Extremist abortion laws compromise the health of our Commonwealth and reward abusers and rapists. The opioid crisis continues to ravage families and affect our workforce.

We need ‘work horses’ in Kentucky who take the job of elected office seriously instead of ‘show horses’ who wage irresponsible culture wars at the expense of our most marginalized neighbors. 

Matt is a Northern Kentucky native who graduated from Covington Catholic High School, University of Louisville (B.A.) and Columbia University (M.S). He has managed and founded several healthcare companies and continues to work in the biotechnology field, helping to develop new therapeutics for cancer and autoimmune diseases. He lives with his family in Newport. 

Kentucky House District 67 encompasses Bellevue, Dayton, Newport, Wilder, Woodlawn, much of Highland Heights and Southgate, and parts of Cold Spring and Fort Thomas in Campbell County.  The district has been represented by Rachel Roberts since 2020.
