Working people have waited long enough. Groceries are up. Rent is up. Health care is still unaffordable. And Washington keeps listening to corporations, lobbyists, and insiders. I’m done waiting. Now it’s our turn. Vote Matthew Fonken by June 9. FonkenForNevada.com

Today, Reno City Council approved the data center moratorium, extending it from Dec. 31, 2026, to Aug. 31, 2027. Thank you to every Nevadan who showed up, spoke out, submitted comment, and stood up for our water, grid, environment, health, and neighborhoods.

Washington’s revolving door is not broken. It is doing exactly what insiders built it to do. I’m ready to help shut it down. @lallyfornv.bsky.social, you’re up next. #LobbyingReform #TakeBACCongress #FonkenForNevada

Nevada’s public lands belong in public hands. I’ll fight to protect our water, our wildlife, and our open spaces, and to manage them responsibly for the people who live, work, and raise families here, not for corporate giveaways or backroom deals. #NV02 #FonkenForNevada

Washington has been bought off, and working people are paying the price. I’m running for Congress to ban stock trading in Congress, end the revolving door, impose term limits, and clean up corruption. This seat belongs to the people. #NV02

Kitchen table issues are real in Nevada. Groceries cost more. Bills keep rising. Working families are getting squeezed. I’m running for Congress to fight for lower costs, better wages, and affordable healthcare, because Nevada families should come first. #NV02 #FonkenForNevada

This endorsement means a lot. Indivisible Northern Nevada is a community I’ve helped build, stood with, and fought alongside for years. Now we’re taking that fight to Congress — together. #Resist #NV02 #FonkenForNevada

Not the rich. Not the insiders. Not the political class. This seat belongs to the people of Nevada. I’ve lived paycheck to paycheck, fought for working families, and I’m running for Congress to put power back where it belongs. Watch. Share. Join us. #NV02 #Nevada #PeoplePowered

This is not normal. This is not acceptable. And I’m not running for Congress to sit on my hands while the Constitution gets shredded. #Impeach #Convict #Remove #FonkenForNevada #NV02

Proud to stand with a coalition of candidates launching Take BAC Congress today from the U.S. Capitol—because working people deserve leaders with backbone, not business as usual. We’re here to build a Congress that fights for the people. #BAC #FonkenForNevada

It’s official: I filed for NV's CD2! Working people are getting squeezed while the powerful cash in. I’m running to change that for the people who keep Nevada going, not the insiders and special interests. I’m on the ballot and in the fight for working Nevadans. #NV02 #fonkenfornevada #filingday

Just finished another round of call time. I spend a lot of time calling folks and sharing my vision for Northern Nevada these days, and the energy out there is incredible. We’re building real momentum, and we need your help to keep it going. Chip in $3 to keep it going: fonken4nv.com/calltime

Mark Amodei had a distinguished career of making the rich richer and voting to strip healthcare away from thousands of Northern Nevadans. As an organizer during many of those key votes, I saw firsthand what that meant for families in our community.

If you are ready for a representative who tells the truth, does the work, and shows up for you, chip in before midnight tonight: fonken4nv.com/EOM

Enjoyed being in Elko for the 41st Cowboy Poetry! Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who made this such an amazing event! #cowtownstateofmind

The continued escalation by ICE, the rogue federal agency, are to blame for the preventable death of Alex Pretti. Until ICE is held accountable for all the violence and mayhem they've caused, and true oversight is put in place, the Senate must not fund this rogue agency.
