Since 2019, Andrew has served as the ranking Republican on the House Transportation Committee. As one of the state’s transportation budget leaders, he is a champion for fiscal responsibility, sensible reform, and reprioritization. His goals are to keep costs down, stop forced taxes on drivers, and complete projects with existing state revenue.

Andrew’s personal knowledge, experience, and leadership as a local business owner has spurred his drive to address the housing and homelessness crisis that continues to grip Washington state. One of his main priorities is increasing housing supply. He continues to push for the removal of unnecessary barriers that keep affordable housing from being built throughout the state.
