I decided to spare you the generic candidate template website and give it to you straight. Below is a little about me, and the tabs will tell you my views.
I'm not raising or spending any money on this campaign—let's see if it's still possible to win in America with just the people!
​
Raised and educated on the East Coast, Dr. Rostami decided he didn’t want to endure the cold or high taxes, so he moved to Texas to start his own medical practice. Before medical school, he majored in Middle Eastern studies at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Not only is he fluent in Persian, but he can also speak Hebrew, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese, and Spanish at varying levels. This may sound impressive, but Dr. Rostami’s father was not impressed. So, after some tough love and heckling, off to medical school he went!
He graduated from Geisinger Medical College in Scranton, PA, on a full scholarship and greatly enjoyed working with the kind and hospitable rural communities in northeast Pennsylvania. After medical school, he completed his ophthalmology residency at Case Western in Cleveland, OH, where he had the honor of treating veterans and servicemembers at the VA. After many years in the cold, he decided to apply for a fellowship in a more habitable part of the country.
When Dr. Rostami was accepted for a fellowship at Valley Retina Institute in McAllen, TX, he was overjoyed—no more state income tax, and no more scraping ice off his car in the winter! He had never seen such severe cases of diabetic eye disease until he moved to McAllen; it was truly a horror show, but it gave him unparalleled experience. After training, he decided to open his own medical practice, designing the clinic building himself and managing its daily operations.
If you've read this far, I commend you. By now, you’ve probably realized I wrote this myself—and you’re right! I am Dr. Matt Rostami, and I would be honored to be your mayor. In my free time, I travel, grill, scuba dive, and go to the gun range. I’ve been to over 30 countries, including Brazil, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Iraq, and Syria, among others. But none of these places come close to America when it comes to social mobility and the ability to achieve the American dream. For that, God bless America!
