Matthew Miles Kordon

Matthew Miles Kordon is the Libertarian Party candidate for the North Carolina House of Representatives, District 11, on the November 3, 2026 general ballot ¹. The North Carolina House is the lower chamber of the state legislature; members serve two‑year terms, represent roughly 80,000 constituents, and are responsible for drafting, debating, and voting on state law, the budget, and oversight of state agencies ¹.

Kordon was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington in 2019 ¹. After college he entered the private sector, founding and serving as chief executive officer of his own company and working as a computer programmer, experiences he cites as giving him insight into both white‑collar and blue‑collar workplaces ¹.

He first appeared on the state‑wide political stage in the 2024 election, where he received 2.9% of the vote (1,416 votes) against incumbent Democrat Allison Dahle and Republican Philip Hensley ¹. The Libertarian primary for the 2026 race was cancelled, allowing Kordon to advance automatically to the general election ¹.

Kordon’s campaign platform emphasizes sweeping constitutional reform to “restore liberty,” including term limits for elected officials, ranked‑choice voting, independent redistricting, and greater transparency in government operations ¹⁰. He advocates for a robust Parent’s Bill of Rights that expands school‑board recall options and gives families more control over education taxes ¹⁰.

On criminal‑justice policy, Kordon calls for a “restorative justice” approach: repealing laws that create crimes without clear victims, ending qualified immunity, ending warrantless searches, and shifting the system’s focus from punishment to restitution and victim‑centered settlements ¹¹. He also supports decriminalizing non‑violent drug offenses and pardoning those convicted solely for such conduct.

Environmental stewardship is another pillar of his platform. Kordon argues that climate change poses a real, multifaceted threat to North Carolina and calls for private‑sector‑driven solutions, reduced government interference, and the use of nuclear power, tax incentives for eco‑innovators, and the sale of public lands to private conservation entities where appropriate ¹⁶.

Kordon frequently frames the Libertarian Party as a “principled outsider” that can mediate partisan gridlock, arguing that the party’s presence forces the major parties to address liberty‑focused issues and can shift public discourse in elections where Libertarians appear on the ballot ¹⁵.

While his campaign has raised modest financial contributions—$140 reported on Transparency USA as of the latest filing—he continues to promote his libertarian vision through a dedicated website, social media, and public appearances at party events such as the LPNC 50th‑anniversary convention in March 2026 [18,17].
