| Collapse all
Andy is a lifelong Republican and resident of of Nitro who is seeking the Republican Nomination for House District 59 which consists of Cross Lanes, Nitro, and a portion of Saint Albans. Andy is a Civics teacher at Nitro High School, Nitro City Council Member, and Minister at the Nitro Church of Christ.
- As a lifelong educator, Andy knows what it takes to improve our schools. We need to engage parents and community members, empower teachers, and remove unnecessary regulations that prevent our educational system from realizing its full potential.
- District 59 has not received an equitable share of road funding. Cross Lanes, in particular, suffers from deteriorating roads and streets that the state has failed to adequately maintain. Andy will work to develop a plan to fix this problem and address the traffic congestion in Cross Lanes and at the Nitro Market Place as we cannot attract additional economic investment until we solve our infrastructure problems.
- Access to reliable internet service is just as important as water, electricity, and other utilities. We must not only expand broadband coverage, but also enact stronger regulations to hold current providers, such as Suddenlink and Frontier, accountable for providing insufficient internet speeds and raising customer’s monthly bills without explanation.
Andy also supports:
· Pro-Life Principles.
· Law Enforcement and Emergency Services Workers.
· Protecting 2nd Amendment Rights.
· Expanding treatment options for drug addiction.
· Abolishing unnecessary regulations on businesses to create a more investment friendly climate.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
