From $10 an hour helper, to master plumber and HVAC contractor, Andrew worked his way up in the trades. He founded his company in 2019 with his two hands and an old GMC Yukon. Built with hard work and integrity, not advertising, the business now supports six work trucks and a dedicated team of eight Alabamians.
For Andrew, the most important tenets in his life are faith, family, and the dignity of honest work. His team receives paid sick leave, vacation, paternity leave, and health insurance he pays for in full, because no one should be afraid to get hurt, or be sick.
Andrew is running for Congress because he’s tired of the politics of division and politicians who don’t listen.
In Washington, he will bring his blue-collar ethic and values to fight for North Alabama - lowering costs for families, fully funding public schools, and protecting Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans benefits.- I am focused on practical solutions for the kitchen table issues impacting the people of the 5th Congressional District - and all Americans: Affordability, Healthcare, Job stability/ opportunity, Quality Education for our children, and Safety for our communities and families. These solutions include: repealing harmful tariffs, restoring funding to critical Federal agencies, and changing the tax code to insure the wealthy pay their fair share. However, it is critical to understand that in order to solve these problems, Congress must have the courage to do their jobs; reclaiming the power of the purse and holding the executive branch accountable to its Constitutionally established limits.
- American healthcare is broken and in need of a whole system solution. From restoring the ACA subsidies to comprehensive insurance reforms and revitalizing rural healthcare, this stands as one of our generations’ greatest and most pressing challenges. In Congress, I am firmly committed to working with others - regardless of party - to tackle this critical issue and finally get our healthcare system off of life support.
- The critical issues and concerns shared by most Americans will continue to be neglected and unsolved until we address the root cause - politicians who thrive on division and don’t listen.
I have created a nationwide movement for candidates to commit to a 5 point “Balance / Accountability” solution for our broken political status quo. The “BAC” pledge entails : *Congressional Term Limits * Repealing Citizens United *Breaking the pipeline from Congress to K Street*Prohibiting Stock Trading in Congress*Enacting an enforceable code of ethics for the US Supreme Court.
BAC Candidates are unequivocally committed to reestablishing and securing the federal Balance of Power and permanently making Representatives more accountable to the people.
This kind of leadership requires an authentic disposition of service and an unequivocal commitment to putting problem solving ahead of politics and/or personal gain.
A Representative should work closely with local communities to develop shared visions and forward looking plans to determine what federal resources can be secured to benefit them - and then fight like hell on their behalf to make that happen.
And finally, a Representative should ALWAYS aspire to further unite their constituents in pursuit of the common good.
However, experience working with all different kinds of folks, and a background of problem solving under pressure is most certainly beneficial.
Political “outsiders” (like myself) who understand both the challenges folks face and the frustrations they feel in the “real world” are requisite to bring the reforms we desperately need to reclaim a more representative government.
To do so requires foundational reforms to fix the broken political status quo that has largely led us to the apathy and extreme division that has brought us to the moment we find ourselves in.
We must recommit to financial solvency. A $40 trillion dollar debt is beyond unsustainable. Inextricably interconnected to this is addressing the critical failings of American Healthcare.
We propose a maximum of (6) 2 year terms for the House and (2) 6 year terms for the Senate allowing for a total maximum allowed congressional service of 24 years. That’s enough. Go home.
… this is everything broken about politics. And exactly who I will NEVER be.
I am truly proud to have brought Richard Currey’s beautiful book “Crossing Over: The Vietnam Stories” to stage.
