of Madison, WI, attends the University of Wisconsin and is pursuing an unprecedented five majors: political science, botany, zoology, biology and molecular biology. A National Merit Scholar, he plans a career in biomedical and genetic research while simultaneously engaging in politics. He has compiled an exceptional record of political activity both on and off campus. Earlier this year, he helped engineer the removal of a radical Madison City Councilwoman, exposing the fact that she had lied about her residence and did not live in her district. Last spring he was appointed by the Governor as the only student on the Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board and expects to be named to the university system's Board of Regents. Andre has served as president of the Pro-Life Action League, volunteered on the campaign of Congressman Mark Green (R-WI), and worked on the staff of State Rep. Philip Montgomery. The state's youngest legislative staffer, he plans to run for the seat when Rep. Montgomery retires. In 2000, he volunteered for Alan Keyes' presidential campaign and then became political and communications director for Bill Federer's campaign against House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt. A highlight of his community service is volunteering for Eagle Wings Ministries, which supports a Kenyan orphanage, helps parents adopt, and sends medical supplies to East Africa. "I have always desired to achieve great things that could have an impact in making others' lives better," says Andre, who has surprised his non-political family by choosing politics and medical research as the path. "Andre is, without question, one of the most motivated, bright, and passionate individuals I have had assist my campaign," Rep. Green states.
