I have been a lifelong resident of west St. Louis county. I'm excited to be running for re-election in the 99th district on August 7, 2012.
My wife Brooke and I have three sons Jeremiah who is 6, Isaac who is 4 and Gideon who is 2. We are active members of the West County Assembly of God and we are very involved in our community.
I earned my business degree from Lindenwood University and I am the proud owner of an established small business. I also am licensed to sell health and life insurance.
As a candidate for State Representative I support an agenda that:
- Is dedicated to limited government that allows citizens to keep more of their hard-earned money
- Is Prolife.
- Fosters a Pro-Business Environment to Secure a Strong Economy.
Eliminating Benefits to Illegal Aliens. - Provides Access to Affordable Healthcare.
It has been good to meet many of you as I have knocked on your doors. Looking forward to seeing you again.

The constitution promotes freedom by limiting government. One of Andrew Koenig's favorite part of the Missouri Constitution is Article I Section II. "That all constitutional government is intended to promote the general welfare of the people; that all persons have a natural right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry; that all persons are created equal and are entitled to equal rights and opportunity under the law; that to give security to these things is the principal office of government, and that when government does not confer this security, it fails in its chief design." |
There are now twenty Missouri Departments that can create regulations for which Missourians must adhere to. In fact, there are almost as many regulations by Missouri Departments as there are Missouri statutes. There are also 10,032 pages of Department rules and regulations. Some no longer even apply to modern times and for many the standards can’t be met or are too rigorous on our businesses. This is why I favor the Missouri House Bill (HB) 1135. It reduces the massive list of burdensome regulations that are outdated and still on the books.
