Meet Andrew
Public service has never been a career choice.
It’s always been Andrew's calling.
A lifelong District 1 resident, Andrew attended Wayside, Hoover and Churchill public schools. As senior policy advisor and deputy chief of staff for the Comptroller of Maryland, he has scrutinized public agencies and reviewed billions in government contracts to ensure transparency and accountability, helped teachers and public servants secure a dignified retirement, and reorganized and restructured Maryland's 529 College Savings program to get a better return for hundreds of thousands of families saving for their children's education. Whether it’s pushing for a new statewide savings program to help Marylanders with disabilities achieve financial security, supplying direct financing to aid Maryland’s small businesses, or providing programming to support Montgomery County’s at-risk youth, Andrew is a forward-focused, results-oriented leader with a proven track record of improving the way government works, and bringing people together to get big things done.
"I've dedicated my professional life to solving problems, to improving the way government works."
"I learned the values of volunteerism and virtues of democracy growing up right here in District 1."
"I've been on a lifelong pursuit of positive change, turning progressive values into progressive results that enhance people's lives."
"Positive change requires progressive leaders, so I've worked up and down the ballot to elect strong Democrats, nationally and locally."
"Progress is about bringing people together to get big things done, like launching a new statewide savings program so Marylanders with disabilities can be independent and financially secure."
"By engaging new people in the process, we're inspiring them to believe that government can actually solve problems, beginning here at home."

Jam packed day today with joint hearings on two major legislative proposals I've been working on since before the Covid crisis: one to spur smart growth development at Metro Stations and another to overhaul Montgomery County's green energy tax credit program to dramatically reduce energy consumption in new and existing buildings. But the most important part of my day may just be the first, fastest and easiest thing I did: getting my #FluShot! It's a critical way to keep ourselves healthy so we can keep each other healthy. That's always important, especially now.
