Career[edit]
Andrew Ogles grew up in Tennessee and graduated from Franklin High School in 1990.[3] He received a B.S. in International Relations from Middle Tennessee State University and attended Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management as well as Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business.[2]
In 2002, Ogles ran as a Republican candidate for Tennessee's 4th congressional district.[2][4] He became the president and owner of eNet Media in 2003 and held those positions until 2010.[2]
In 2011, he worked as COO for a Nashville, Tenn. based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called Abolition International (now called Hope for Justice).[2][5][6] According to Hope for Justice's website, Abolition International's core mission was "to bring an end to sex trafficking & exploitation through education, empowerment, and quality restorative care."[5]
Ogles entered the national political scene in 2012, when he worked as National Deputy Director for Newt Gingrich's presidential campaign.[2] That same year, he worked as Executive Director for TN PAC, a Tennessee political action committee "that helped win enough legislative races to move Republicans in Tennessee into super majorities in both the State House and State Senate," according to an April 2015 article in The Chatanoogan.[2][7]
Ogles became the director of Americans for Prosperity-Tennessee in July 2013.[2] Ogles has overseen several advocacy projects since joining AFP-Tennessee, including the group's campaign to stop Governor Haslam's Insure Tennessee program and the release of its 2014 Federal Legislative Scorecard.[8][9] Most recently, Ogles published an op-ed in The Hill in which he discussed alternatives to gas tax hikes.[10]
