Enough is enough. Our nation is in crisis.
We’re building a team right here in District 9—ready to work together and deliver real results. From advancing gun safety to protecting our personal rights, to ensuring affordable healthcare and expanding access to good-paying jobs, our district can lead the way. Together, we’ll drive the forward-thinking solutions our community, our democracy, and our country need—now and for the future.
We are ready for the fight.
Join our team!- Principled Leadership. We’ve seen the cost of chaos. It’s time to stop the bleeding and restore strategic, principled leadership. Phil Andrew brings integrity, clarity, and real crisis-tested experience to meet the moment and lead us forward—together.
- Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety. Every family deserves to feel safe. Phil will advance comprehensive, evidence-based, and holistic public safety strategies that go beyond slogans and deliver real results—honoring victims with action, not rhetoric.
- Economic Security and Opportunity. Phil believes in a fair economy where everyone has the opportunity to earn, grow, and contribute. He’ll fight for smart policies and collaborative implementation that create sustainable economic growth and jobs, support small businesses, innovation, climate resilience, healthcare coverage, and reflect the real cost of living, educating and supporting families in our district.
