From the beginning, we prayed that God's Will for my life's service in this capacity be answered. The campaign was an opportunity to discern how I might adopt a useful & meaningful service to our community based on who I am. We worked several thousand hours to provide voters adequate information of my candidacy. We always kept our integrity and acted gracefully. After 10 long months, I was not selected to move forward. I peacefully accept this outcome. I am so very grateful to the journey. I met thousands of good people and grew as an individual. Thank you, to everyone who believes in me and substantially helped our campaign. You have captured my heart. 

I am not done serving the community. And though that does not look like it will be lived out in elected office, I will continue to walk through doors where there is a substantial need. Right now, I am very grateful to be the Event Director at the first annual Fort Bend Veterans' Festival. Truly hope to see you there. 

Phillip Andrews 

 With over 20 years of business experience, Phillip Andrews has had a management career spanning multiple industries with lengthy periods in each one; public accounting (5 years), security (3 years), medicine (6 years), and construction trades (8 years). He has also been on the Board of Directors of the Fort Bend County Economic Development Council. Phillip Andrews is a graduate of the University of Saint Thomas in Houston and holds a Master degree in Accounting, and a Bachelor Degree with studies in political science, philosophy, & theology. 

Phillip Andrews and his wife have lived in the same home in Sugar Land for the past 12 years. They have two grown children. Their daughter is a graduate of the University of Texas Nursing school and currently working in the Medical Center, and their son is a fourth year business student at the Texas A&M University (College Station). They are members at the First Colony Church of Christ. 

 As General Manager since 2012 of Sugar Land Rain Gutters, Phillip Andrews has successfully built a business. During the local energy recession that had plagued our Texas economy during 2015 and 2016, Phillip encountered more and more unemployed people from different walks of life, and Sugar Land Rain Gutters had to grow to accommodate this need. After Hurricane Harvey, Phillip worked among thousands of people whose lives were thrown into chaos and tears. Experiencing these very different catastrophic events for four long years has formed Phillip into the persevering servant leader needed at this time to embrace the challenges of Fort Bend County. 

Between the struggle of building a business in general and growing it for others in a challenging industry, Phillip Andrews has acquired experience and insight within the tragic difficulties of the recent past that have transformed his leadership purpose. It is Phillip's deepest desire to help others develop new high paying jobs in Texas that bring back dignity to the human person and quality of life. 

We are so grateful at this time for the Republican leadership that has carried us through these times and created a robust economy the last few years. 

 Improving the economy is not an end in itself, but a means to quality American life —a way to strengthen families, help Americans reach their God-given potential, and lift up our neighbors who live in the shadows. Growing up in Brookshire and Katy, Texas, working-class towns near Fort Bend, Phillip Andrews learned the importance of lending a hand to those who need it. As a lay minister, he has spent real time caring for those struggling in life among the working poor. 

 A unique part of Phillip's history is that he spent many years in religious studies for a vocation in ministry that lays the foundation of his spirit. Phillip's unique experience and dedication in ministry & business,  has created a heart of service and a passion to participate in the most meaningful aspects of life. His core values lay the foundation of American principles that make him the balanced Republican candidate we need for Elected Office.
