  • Andrew is committed to strengthening our public schools by ensuring teachers and students have the resources they need to succeed. He believes in strong career and technical education classes to help rebuild Iowa's workforce.
  • Andrew will fight to expand healthcare access and lower costs so no one has to choose between their health and their finances. Andrew also believes it would be financially beneficial to this country if we switched to universal healthcare for all.
  • Andrew will work to build an economy that works for everyone, not just a few. Focusing on small businesses and local entrepreneurs, helping Iowa families grow Iowa. Andrew also wants to rebuild Iowa's infrastructure, our crumbling roads and bridges have become a safety concern for all.
Career and Technical education has always been an afterthought in our public education system and has been defunded over the last 15 years. Andrew wants to focus on expanding CTE courses and letting the future of Iowa's workforce know that college is not the only option. A high school graduate can join an apprenticeship making very livable wages and get career education while getting paid. CTE courses in middle and high school would give these graduates a leg up and a head start into their future careers.
