Andrea Lowe, board director for Nevada Association of School Boards, to run for Congress

AUSTIN, Nev. (KOLO) – On Friday, March 6, Andrea Lowe, a seventh-generation Nevadan, filed to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District, which has been held by Rep. Mark Amodei since 2011.

“I’m not a career politician,” Lowe said. “I’m running because the people of Nevada deserve a voice in Washington that truly represents our communities and our values.”

Amodei recently announced he is not running for re-election. The district covers northern Nevada, including Carson City, Reno, and surrounding rural areas.

Lowe, a Republican, serves on the Lander County School Board and is a board director for the Nevada Association of School Boards.

She is also a wife and mother of three boys.

Lowe’s campaign will focus on supporting veterans and first responders, protecting the Second Amendment, and standing up for the hardworking people and rural communities that built Nevada.

“As someone who lives and works in rural Nevada, I understand the challenges our communities face,” Lowe said. “I’m ready to fight for the people who built our state.”
