Andrew is a strong believer in individual responsibility and minimizing federal government control.  He is running for District 11 State Senator because he has always felt that it is important to give back to the community and feels that his district would benefit from a fresh perspective on district and state issues.  He sees his candidacy as an opportunity to bring experienced leadership to Arizona and to establish a regional, national, and international identity for Arizona as a leader in job creation, business opportunities, and family environment.  Andrew also feels that elected officials should strive to communicate more frequently with their constituents.  If elected, he plans to hold quarterly “Town Hall” style meetings with District 11 residents.
