Matthew Zacher was born in Omaha, Nebraska and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. The son of Creighton University graduates, Matthew graduated from Brophy College Prep in 2018 before returning to Omaha to continue the family tradition at Creighton University. At Creighton, Matthew studied Psychology and Political Science, graduating in 2022. During his time at Creighton, Matthew served on student government boards and was president of his fraternity (Sig Ep). Matthew was the political director on Don Bacon’s 2022 campaign, and currently serves as campaign manager for Bacon’s 2024 re-election campaign.

 

Matthew has had a love for politics from an early age, first volunteering on Senator John McCain’s final Senate campaign in 2016 when he was only 15 years old. In his high school years, Matthew made several service trips to the Southern Border, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Witnessing the poverty, violence, and corruption in those countries cemented Matthew’s belief in the importance of good people in government. Matthew admires leaders who are steadfast in their convictions, but who are also willing to work across the aisle to move our country forward—he considers himself blessed to work for such a leader as Don Bacon. Matthew has two younger siblings, a sister who is a senior at Creighton and a brother who is a senior at Brophy Prep. In his free time, Matthew enjoys golfing and cooking. He is a lifetime fan of the Green Bay Packers and Bluejay Basketball. Welcome, Matthew!
