Andy Millard is a Certified Financial Planner and community leader running to serve the people of North Carolina’s Tenth Congressional District. He wants to help people in the 10th district in specific, tangible ways with investments that benefit everyone, an economy that works for everyone, and a government that represents everyone. Millard believes there needs to be a whole new approach to governing. “Congress has long since dropped any appearance of working together; it is now just a forum for posturing and name-calling. Meanwhile, our district, state, and nation continue to face tough challenges that are not addressed,” he said. Millard wants to bring his extensive experience working with diverse groups to the United States House of Representatives.
