Andrew Lorenz for Congress – Michigan District 13
Where I Stand
I’m not running to represent a party—I’m running to represent people. I’m a Marine Corps veteran, a single dad, and someone who’s lived through the same struggles working families face every day. These aren’t just political issues to me. They’re personal.
Opioid Crisis
I’ve seen firsthand what fentanyl and heroin can do. My kids’ mother is in recovery. I’ve lived the late-night chaos, the fear, the frustration. I’m running to help families get ahead—not just get by. That means fighting for real addiction treatment, cutting off the supply chain, and holding the pharmaceutical lobby accountable. This isn’t politics—it’s personal.
Veterans & National Service
I served this country in the Marine Corps for 12 years and deployed three times. Veterans shouldn’t have to fight a second war just to get healthcare, housing, or benefits. I’ll push for same-day mental health care access, a modernized VA, and a streamlined process for benefits. Our country promised us support—we’re here to collect.
Parental Rights & Education
I’m a full-time single dad. I’ve watched our schools drift away from parents, common sense, and local values. I’ll fight for parental rights in education, transparency in curriculum, and strong reading and math foundations—not political indoctrination. Let kids be kids. Let parents have a say.
Economic Fairness & Middle-Class Revival
I’m not a trust fund baby—I’ve worked pay-to-paycheck like most of you. We need to bring back jobs that build futures, not just fill time. That means supporting small business, investing in trade skills, protecting American manufacturing, and easing tax burdens on families and workers. Let’s put America back to work—starting with Downriver.
Peace Through Strength
I’m proud of my service, but I won’t vote to send your kids to fight pointless wars. We need a military strong enough to defend us—but wise enough not to babysit the world. I’ll vote against endless foreign entanglements and wasteful spending. Our enemies should fear us. Our people should trust us.
Transparency, Not Theater
I’m not wearing a suit to play politician. I’m showing up in boots, ready to work. That means honest communication, open town halls, and real accountability. If I mess up, I’ll own it. If I say something, I mean it.
