Matthew Park is the Democrat candidate for Knox County Commission in Ninth District and Park’s campaign is the first to advertise on #TheMegaBullhornofTruth for the August 1, 2024 General Election with Early Voting July 12-27.
Park ran a very close and successful campaign for State Representative in the 15th State House district in 2020, the “pandemic” election. Only 25 votes separated Sam McKenzie and Park.

Park has served our community as an EMT at a local ambulance service. As a first responder, he saw the most critical needs of our residents. Park then worked as an EMT for a children’s hospital, focusing on getting critical pediatric and neonatal patients from rural hospitals to the specialized life-saving care they needed. Over a decade, Park has been a technology leader for over a decade. This work has included;
- reducing the cost of healthcare
- creating equitable access to mental health
- tracking and predicting financial markets
- creating better experiences for customersÂ
​
Working as a business technology consultant, Matthew has helped hundreds of businesses from large to small. Park knows that government technology, like websites and systems, often leaves residents behind and creates a bad experience when accessing government services. He will be a voice for better technology in the Knox County government that serves every resident.Â
