ABOUT ANDREW

As a lifelong Northwest Illinois resident, I am privileged to serve as your State Senator. I was raised on the same conservative values I now fight for at the State Capitol. With every vote taken, I want to ensure that the opportunities I have been afforded in this part of Illinois are available for generations to come.

It has been my honor to serve the people of this region, first as the State Representative for the 89th District from 2018 to 2023 and now as the Senator of the 45th District since my election to the upper chamber in November of 2022.

Whether it is fighting for your Second Amendment rights, parental rights, job creation, or a robust law enforcement system, I work hard to make sure my constituents have a voice in the Illinois Legislature. I am your advocate now and will always be a voice for you when it comes to addressing issues that are important to you.

My voting record is clear when it comes to standing up to the liberal agenda of legislative Democrats. I voted against the SAFE-T Act, the so-called “assault weapons” ban, and many other bills that whittle away at our constitutional freedoms. I also voted against ending cash bail, against bills that strip our law enforcement of their ability to do their jobs effectively, against allowing biological males in girls’ bathrooms and vice versa, and against efforts to strip local control away from our communities and counties.

Make no mistake. Our traditional family values and belief in fiscal responsibility are under attack, and you need a strong voice in Springfield to stand up for the values and freedoms we hold dear. Through my previous service as a Freeport Alderman, which taught me how much state laws affect local governments, and the last six years in the State Legislature, I have developed a reputation as a fiscal hawk and protector of personal freedoms. I will always oppose measures that silence local voices and diminish your right to live your life, raise your family, or run your business the way you see fit.

In 2013, I was blessed to marry my wife, Kelly. Today, we live in Freeport with our two dogs, Hector and Rufus. Together, we have one adult son, Nicholas. I was raised in Shannon, Illinois, and am a proud graduate of Eastland High School. In 2004, I graduated cum laude from Arizona State University with a degree in Communication.

As your State Senator, I hope to meet with you personally to hear your thoughts on how we can bring about much-needed reform in our state government.

Thank you again for your friendship and support,
