Milford Election 2021 Profile: Andy Fowler, School Board

Occupation: Content Producer, Knights Of Columbus

The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it:

My primary focuses are on the fiscal responsibility of the Milford Board of Educations’ budget, but, more importantly, to foster an unbiased curriculum and avert any intrusion of Critical Race Theory, or theories like it, into our classrooms.

This means being more transparent with our parents and providing opportunities for open discussion and dialogue between parents, and Milford taxpayers and policymakers, so we can provide the best education possible for our students.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

As the lone Republican on the Milford Board of Education, I have had to be alone on key votes and share why I voted the way I did. It hasn't always been easy to be on an island, but I've shown I can justly bring my constituents' concerns to the table, even if I knew my positions would be defeated by the Democrat Board members.

Accomplishments:

I currently serve as the Minority Leader on the Milford Board of Education.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

My time on the Milford Board of Education has been an eye-opening experience. But I’m willing to continue serving my community because I want to serve and give back to the city that I’ve called home for more than 20 years. As a graduate of Milford Public Schools, and the 2011 Jonathan Law class' Valedictorian, I simply want to provide an environment where students can thrive and discover the talents that God has given them.
