Eddie Andrews

State Representative Eddie Andrews has been subject to campaign-related ethics investigations and a nomination challenge during his career. In April 2023, the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board fined Andrews $250 and issued a reprimand for distributing campaign materials in 2022 that lacked required attribution statements. In a separate matter, the board vacated a $500 fine regarding campaign signs after determining the signage met legal size exemptions, though the board maintained a reprimand due to the campaign’s failure to cooperate with the investigation. In 2026, a challenge was filed against Andrews’ gubernatorial nomination petitions alleging he failed to meet signature requirements. A state panel ultimately overruled the challenge after a recount confirmed he had gathered the required number of signatures. During this process, Andrews alleged that some of his campaign petitions had been stolen.
