'''Matthew "Matt" Myers, Esq.''' is President and Chief Executive Officer of [[The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids]], a privately funded organization based in Washington, D.C. that was focuses its attention on reducing tobacco use among children. The Campaign promotes policies that it believes support a reduction in tobacco use.
Mr. Myers has been with the Campaign from its inception in 1996. He served as its Executive Vice President and Legal Counsel and oversaw the Campaign’s advocacy efforts. In 1997, Mr. Myers participated in the negotiations with the state attorneys general that led to the 1997 settlement with the Liggett Tobacco Company, and later participated in negotiations between the [[tobacco industry ]] and the state attorneys general that led to the 1998 [[Master Settlement Agreement]] (MSA) agreement between those parties. Many believe the MSA was a flawed settlement, in part because the money tobacco companies agreed to pay the states was largely diverted to non-tobacco control-related purposes like road repair, scholarships and prison construction.
