Current Office/Occupation: Retired. Educator. Financial Planner. U.S. Army Veteran.
| I have been a Cedar Rapids resident for the better part of my adult life. I served in the Iowa Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserves and retired after 33 years of service with the rank of Colonel. My experiences have shown to me the importance of accountability and responsibility. I taught high school for six years and served on the Linn-Mar Board of Education for nine years, I have learned the difference that responsible leadership can make in young peoples' lives and the importance of local control for schools. Most recently, I retired after 28 years in the pension and retirement planning field where I assisted citizens in practicing frugal budgeting and planning for tomorrow. I have also worked extensively with city and county government pension plans. My wife Jane and I have been married for 37 years and have two sons, Matt lives in California and Chad lives in Texas and they have become the core of my campaign. With your support, we can work together to improve Iowa for our children and our future. -Andy Anderson | My Priorities Responsible Budget. As a retired financial planner, I understand the pressures of managing a budget. I know that the Legislature can fund important priorities, such as education and economic development that leads to better jobs, without raising taxes. World-Class Schools and Education. Having been a classroom teacher and a former three-term member of the Linn-Mar Board of Education, I understand the importance of providing a quality education. For our children to be successful, we must ensure education dollars go directly to the classroom and the teacher. Economic Development. I will be a strong advocate for job creation and economic development. The future of Cedar Rapids lies in providing good paying jobs for all of our citizens. Affordable Healthcare. With the rising costs of healthcare, it is important that the State of Iowa not contribute to the out-of-control increases. By creating policies that make it easier for doctors to retain their own insurance, the cost for everone else will be held in check. Quality of Life. The Quality of Life in Iowa is amongst the highest in the nation. To maintain these high standards we must continue to develop policies that will move Iowa in the right direction. |
