← this guy
I'm Andy Bowline.
I live in Winston-Salem with my wife (a kidney doctor, which means she's used to dealing with stubborn problems) and our two kids, a 15-year-old and a 12-year-old who are, frankly, more politically aware than I was at their age.
Right now I'm a stay-at-home dad, working on projects from home. Before that, I co-founded a health tech company here in Winston-Salem. Before that, I wrote code, helped nonprofits get organized, and worked in medical research. I've been in rooms where complicated problems get solved, and I've been in rooms where nothing gets done because no one's accountable. I know the difference.
I'm not a career politician. I don't have consultants. I don't have a PAC. I'm just a guy who moved here in 2009, watched the state legislature accumulate power while doing less and less for actual people, and decided that someone should at least show up to say: this isn't working.
Republicans won this district by 25 points in 2024. I know the math. But math only works this way because politicians drew the lines. You deserve someone who has to earn your vote, not someone whose seat was guaranteed before the campaign even started.
Government is how you and your neighbors choose to live together: pool some resources, follow some rules, look out for each other. That's the deal. Somebody forgot.
If a policy helps corporations more than people, I'm skeptical.
If it puts politicians between you and your doctor, I'm opposed.
If it protects the powerful at the expense of everyone else, I'll fight it.
Rigged maps. Stripped powers. Fewer voices at the table. That's not the deal. That's somebody rewriting it.
See why the system is broken and what's at stake.
Running in an R+25 district means every volunteer, every dollar, and every share matters more than usual.
