Background

About Matt Batzel

I’m passionate about training a new generation of conservative leadership across this great country. I became National Executive Director following my tenure as Wisconsin Executive Director for American Majority. Under my leadership, our Wisconsin team has trained over 300 winning candidates at the state and local level, held over 300 trainings, and trained more than individuals since 2010. During the height of the 2011 union protests in Madison, I organized American Majority’s “I Stand with Walker” rally that gathered more than patriots to show the nation their support for public sector union reforms. Prior to both Wisconsin recall elections (2011 and 2012), our team executed training blitzes, to equip hundreds of activists on how to help their candidates at many locations across Wisconsin. I also deployed a massive online army through co-creating a Twitter hashtag – #Wiright – designed to mobilize grassroots conservatives online in an unprecedented way. I have appeared on Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine, TMJ4 (Milwaukee), WISC-TV (Madison), FOX 6 Milwaukee, Wisconsin Public Radio and has been quoted in numerous print and online publications including ABCNews.com, NYTimes.com, Politico, Roll Call, FoxBusiness.com, Reuters.com, CNBC.com, MSNBC.com, Yahoo News, Washington Examiner, Chicago Tribune, and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I also write columns that have appeared on FOXNation, Townhall.com, Redstate.com, and RightWisconsin.com. Prior to joining American Majority, I gained experience at the state and federal levels, including in all three branches of the federal government. I have a tax law background, having practiced in the private sector for over two years following my graduation from law school.
