How we got to this Campaign

Near the beginning of April 2019, Tax Assessor Patsy Shultz filed for retirement allowing the special appointment of a new person by the Fort Bend County Commissioners' Court to fill the vacancy. Phillip Andrews was tapped by a local government official as a candidate among two others to fill this office. Early that month, Phillip Andrews would gain the support of Republican Commissioners Andy Meyers & Vincent Morales, Congressman Pete Olson, & Republican Party County Chair Jacey Jetton,  therefore becoming the Republican Choice! 

However, the Democrat controlled Commissioners Court disqualified Phillip Andrews based not on his credentials, but on being a loyal Republican as Phillip refused to sign with the Democrats as a condition for the appointment. 

Since then, the spirit of public service has captured Phillip's heart and leads him to take this step in running for the Republican nomination for Tax Assessor in 2020. We hope that as you learn more below about Phillip, you will find the same confidence and trust in Phillip Andrews that our elected leaders above have and support us now. Please volunteer and donate.

Meet Phillip Andrews: The Republican Choice 

Phillip Andrews is a husband, father, friend, person of faith, leader, employer, and change agent. Through them all runs his honest, direct, authentic, tenacious approach to life that has allowed him, time and again, to do what they said could not be done and, as his father told him as a young man, “take and love people as they are, and you will change the world.”

With over 18 years of executive business experience, Phillip Andrews has had a management career spanning multiple industries with lengthy periods in each one; public accounting, security, medicine, and construction trades. Phillip Andrews is a two time graduate of the University of Saint Thomas in Houston. Phillip 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 11 years. They have two grown children. His daughter is a graduate of the University of Texas Nursing school and currently working in the Medical Center, and his son is a fourth year business student at the Texas A&M University (College Station). 

HELPING AMERICANS CREATE JOBS

As General Manager since 2012 of Sugar Land Rain Gutters, Phillip Andrews has successfully built a business through the local energy recession that has plagued our Texas economy for the last four years. And as Phillip encountered more and more unemployed people from different walks of life, Sugar Land Rain Gutters had to grow to accommodate this need. People from all career levels have temporarily worked for Sugar Land Rain Gutters while seeking employment in their profession. Other than talented craftsmen meant for the construction trades, other workers include: a university professor, an accountant, a medical doctor, an organic chemist, an insurance investigator, and more. All of these men stood on ladders in the Texas heat and installed gutter without the homeowners knowing who they are. 

Between the struggle of building a business in general and growing it for others in a difficult industry, Phillip Andrews has acquired experience and insight within the economic difficulties that we now face. It is Phillip's deepest desire to develop new high paying jobs in Texas that bring back dignity to the human person and quality of life. 

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 minister, he has spent real time caring for those struggling with mental illness, addiction, and the working poor. 

Phillip is the Executive Director and a minister at the Society of the Eucharist Fellowship, a developmental multipurpose ministry. He attends the First Colony Church of Christ in Sugar Land. A unique part of Phillip's history is that he was adopted by a Roman Catholic priest and spent 9 years in formation for the priesthood before having a change of faith toward a Evangelical based denomination. Phillip' 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 the Tax Assessor Office.
