Andrew Bennett

My name is Andrew Bennett and I am running for the State House of Representatives in District 85 as an Independent candidate. I work as a Data Analyst, but my true passion lies in education. With both my parents being public school teachers, I understand the importance of investing in local public education and ensuring that our teachers and support staff are properly compensated. As a young candidate at the age of 26, I also understand the needs and urgency of the younger generation, which is why I am committed to being an elected official that truly represents and advocates for their interests. Additionally, I aim to improve the quality of life for all Louisianans by reducing the cost of living through transferring utilities and home insurance to the public sector, allowing individuals to have a say in how much they spend on these essential services. Finally, I believe in electoral reform and the need for public campaign financing to eradicate corruption and the undue influence of big-money donors in our government. On a personal note, I have a fun fact to share - I am the proud owner of two orange cats named Zuko and Chester, although I would love to have ten more if my girlfriend would allow it.

I'm running for the office of State House of Representatives in 85 as a member of the Independent party because I believe in creating positive change in our community. As a Data Analyst and someone who has worked with math students in various education settings, I understand the importance of investing in local public education. We need to prioritize our teachers and support staff, and adequately fund our schools to provide a quality education for our students. Additionally, as a 26-year-old, I recognize the urgent needs of young people and aim to be their voice in government. I am passionate about reducing the cost of living for all Louisianans, by advocating for transferring utilities and home insurance to the public sector, thereby cutting out middlemen and allowing the public to have a say in how much we spend on these essential services. Moreover, I am committed to electoral reform and strongly believe in implementing public campaign financing to eradicate the corruption that results from big-money donors influencing our government. With these goals in mind, I hope to make a positive impact and bring about necessary changes to benefit our community. Fun fact: I have two orange cats named Zuko and Chester, and if my girlfriend permitted, I would have ten more!
