Not Woke Not Maga

It’s time

to rise above culture wars and focus on education and infrastructure

It’s time

to get the best of both parties and compromise on difficult issues

It’s time

to fight extremism with ranked choice voting, term limits and independent redistricting

I’m not Woke. I’m not MAGA. I’m an Independent

It’s right to protect our borders, and it’s right to care for immigrants
It’s right to drill for energy independence, and it’s also right to invest in clean tech
It’s right to protect our kids online, in school and from the guns and drugs that are killing so many

It’s time for the Independent Majority to vote in a primary

Why I’m Running

Texas Isn’t Broken. Our Politics Are.

Only 3 out of 10 Texans vote in the March primary. That means the loudest extremes choose who ends up on the November ballot. (See: Trump vs. Kamala.)

I’m running as an Independent Democrat.

I’ll unite Progressives, Moderates and Independents to expand the Democratic base, which is what it’s going to take to beat Greg Abbott.

It’s time for the Independent Majority to show up.

Let’s prove that the 8 million Texans who vote in November care enough to vote in March too. Because if even a fraction of us show up, we tip the balance — and take our state back

Find me on the Democratic ballot — and get an Independent voice.

Because the silent majority can’t stay silent forever.

It’s your move.

I’m an Independent Democrat determined to build bridges while others burn them

Where I Stand

I'm not woke.

Extreme Left

This is where things get done. This is where you'll find me.

I'm not MAGA.

Extreme Right

Our Kids’ Education

Texas schools rank in the bottom half of the nation. I’ll ask someone like Admiral William McRaven to lead an independent commission to create a clear plan to make our schools the best — and force the Legislature to give it an up-or-down vote. No more excuses.

Our Kids’ Safety

Social media addiction. Online porn. Candy-flavored nicotine. Deadly drugs. They’re all targeting our kids — and making someone rich. I’ll fight to keep our kids safe. Nothing is more important.

Voting

Politicians can’t police themselves. We need independent redistricting, ranked choice voting, term limits — and yes, age limits too. And let’s make electoral votes pro rata instead of winner-take-all… but only if other states play by the same rules.

Infrastructure

Like a bunch of us, I spent 4 days pulling people out of the water during Harvey. Here are some photos. Here is a Texas Monthly video. I don’t want to do that again. Build the Ike Dike. Expand the Bayous, and invest in flood warning technology, not just talk about it.

Energy & Environment

Drill today and invest in clean-tech for tomorrow. I want both energy independence and our grandkids to (be able to) live here.

Healthcare

Expand Medicaid and collect $10 billion *per year* for healthcare. Only 10 states refused these dollars. That’s 1,400,000 Texans with no healthcare. If Greg doesn’t care about people, what about the money? I’m no genius, but refusing $10 billion greenbacks a year seems bad for business.

Border & Immigration

A sovereign country must control its own border. Period. We also need to make legal immigration available to both well-qualified candidates and to well-documented asylum seekers. As a Christian, I feel strongly we should never separate a child from their family and that DACA children should be protected.

Women’s Health

We should work to reduce abortion without passing stringent laws that turn women and doctors into criminals. To me, women’s health also includes access to contraceptives and IVF, help for working moms raising kids, and investment in peri-menopause research. Because healthy women mean healthy communities.

Guns

I’m a proud 2A supporter who believes in common-sense gun safety. Seat belt laws save lives – and so can keeping guns from dangerous hands with background checks, age limits (except for military and police), short waiting periods, and red flag laws. Protect rights. Protect families.

Law Enforcement

I was pretty much raised by Texas DPS Troopers when my father was Governor. They taught me how to shoot, defend myself, and drive as well as some spicy language here and there. They also taught me to back the Blue.

Equal Rights

Love who you love — life’s better with friends from all walks of life. I believe children deserve time to grow up before making life-altering choices about their bodies. Women’s athletics exist to give women equal opportunities to compete—let’s keep it that way.

Israel

What happened should never happen. I hope they hunt down every terrorist and eliminate them. I pray for protection for the hostages, Israel’s soldiers and Gaza’s civilians.

Russia

Putin could be our generation’s Hitler. Our grandparents defeated that dictator; it’s up to us to stand up to this one by standing up for Ukraine. If we don’t, it’ll be Poland next. Yes, it’s expensive, but the “Neville Chamberlain” approach is, ultimately, a lot more expensive. History rhymes.

China

They’ve had a “free pass” on foreign trade and human rights. Time’s up.

National Debt

Let’s stop borrowing from our great grandkids. No one wants to pay for Biden-nomics or MAGA-nomics. Pretty soon, Economics will catch up: Our national debt is becoming a national security issue – interest expense will soon surpass total military spending.

Taxes

I have a master’s degree in business, and I can’t file my own tax returns. There’s a problem here (and it’s not me!). We need to simplify our tax code (or maybe buy everyone a copy of “Taxes for Dummies”?)

Social Security / Medicare

We made a promise, and we should keep it.

My Faith is Central to Who I am

Extremism Costs Us — Literally

Need proof? Look at the bill Texans are paying:

  • $115 billion in federal health funds left untouched because Gov. Abbott refused to expand Medicaid. Source here
  • $45 billion added to our power bills after he failed to suspend price caps during Winter Storm Uri. Source here
  • $1 billion drained from public schools to bankroll private school vouchers—after he targeted moderate House members to clear the way. Source here

If a CEO torched that kind of value, the board would show him the door. After 30 years in politics, Abbott answers to extremists, not to the independent Texans who foot the bill.

My Track Record: Results Over Rhetoric

I’m Andrew White—an entrepreneur who’s spent three decades solving real-world problems.

  • Clean tech: Founded an industrial cleaning firm that has already removed thousands of tons of CO2
  • Home services: Launched multiple companies that keep Texas homes running and Texans employed.
  • Border security: Built a global human-detection technology adopted by prisons, border agencies, and military bases.
  • Energy: Own and operate oil fields in Alaska and invest in West Texas oil fields—because our energy future needs expertise, not slogans.

Ask around: I’ve built a reputation as a fair dealer, relentless worker, and creative problem solver.

Values That Guide, Not Divide

Business shapes what I do, but faith shapes who I am. I embraced my faith in Christianity in high school after long talks with YoungLife mentors and reading Mere Christianity by CS Lewis a couple of times. I’m also a husband, a dad and a former golf hacker who’s had enough of politics that pits neighbor against neighbor.

I’m an Independent Democrat determined to build bridges while others burn them.

Let’s fire the politics of anger and hire a governor who works for all Texans.
