Information provided by Andy Ogles: Neighborhood, town and/or city: Culleoka / Columbia Education: Political Science from MTSU Job history: I've had a successful career as an entrepreneur owning and operating restaurants and a real estate investment business. Feeling the call to serve my community, I became the COO of Abolition International, where I oversaw operations and investments in 12 countries to fight human trafficking. I then became the first State Director of Americans for Prosperity Tennessee, where I led grassroots coalitions fighting for principles of limited government and lower taxes across the state. After leaving AFP, I served as Executive Director of the Laffer Center, which advises the White House and multiple Governors on tax policy. While working at the Laffer Center, I became a nationally recognized expert on tax policy and healthcare, having been featured in numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal and Investor’s Business Daily. Since 2018, I've served as Mayor of Maury County, Tennessee, and was recognized as Tennessee’s most conservative mayor. Maury County is the fastest-growing county in the State of TN, and I've helped to negotiate over $5 billion in economic investment as Mayor of Mayor County. Family: I've been married to my high school sweetheart, Monica, for 28 years. We have three beautiful children, Adley, Drew, and Isaac.
