Andrea Coleman has spent a decade fighting to bring jobs, fix our roads, and give every child in District 28 the classroom they deserve — and the results speak for themselves.
Three concrete commitments — grounded in District 28's needs and a proven record of getting them done.
I helped pass the Regional Workforce Investment Act that brought 1,400 jobs to our district. In my next term I'll push to expand that apprenticeship pipeline, attract clean-energy employers, and cut red tape for small businesses on Main Street.
Every child here deserves a safe, well-staffed classroom. I've secured $38 million in school-infrastructure funding and authored the Classroom Staffing Relief Act. Next session I'll fight for full-day pre-K and teacher pay that keeps our best educators in District 28.
Broken roads cost families money and slow down our economy. I delivered $46 million in state transportation funding that repaired 22 miles of District 28 roadway. My next priority: broadband expansion to every home and a long-overdue bridge safety program.
Andrea Coleman grew up in District 28, attended our public schools, and built a career in small business before answering the call to public service. First elected to the State House in 2014, she has spent 12 years turning community priorities into law — from the workforce training bill that created over a thousand local jobs, to the infrastructure package that finally fixed Route 28's most dangerous stretch.
Andrea believes that government works best when it listens first and acts with discipline. She holds a monthly constituent-service office hour in every ZIP code in the district, and her record of returning calls, cutting through bureaucratic delays, and delivering tangible results has earned her the respect of neighbors across the political spectrum. She and her husband David have raised three children here — this is home, and protecting it is personal.
"Andrea Coleman doesn't make promises — she makes plans, and then she executes them. The school-infrastructure money she delivered changed what was possible for our kids."
Dr. Patricia HensleySuperintendent, District 28 Unified Schools
"When the Route 28 bridge issue put local drivers at risk, Andrea was in the State House the next morning with a funding package ready to go. That's the kind of rep we need."
Marcus WebbPresident, Firefighters Local 412
"As a small-business owner, I've watched Andrea cut through red tape and bring real opportunity to this community. She's earned every vote she gets in November."
Sandra PortilloChair, District 28 Chamber of Commerce
