About Me
My Background
- 24 years in law enforcement at the Military/Federal, State, County and City level. Previously serving as Chief of Police, Captain, Sergeant, Investigator, Police Officer, Deputy Sheriff, and Special Officer. I hold a master's degree in public safety administration and a BA in Criminal Justice. I served on the licensing board for my local plumbers and electricians board having been appointed by the Utah Governor in 2025. I have also been a proud member of several occupational and civic associations, to include the local Elks Lodge, International Association of Chief's of Police, and Fraternal Order of Police.
- In 2025, I started a podcast, Move Forward with Matthew Campisi. The podcast features interesting discussions about issues that I feel are important. Mostly commentary on political and social issues. The podcast can be streamed on Spotify and on other major platforms. The podcast is free to download.
- Far from perfect. I am currently on my third marriage (3 times a charm!) My first divorce was rather contentious as there were children involved. It was quite messy. My ex-wife did file for a protective order right before she filed for divorce. It was later dismissed and referred to the divorce case and then completely dropped. Click here for evidence of that. I have no history of domestic abuse and pay my child support on time. I have made many mistakes in my life. But with the grace of God, I've become stronger and wiser through my trials and tribulations. I feel that I can contribute something positive for my community through service as your representative.
