FRANKFORT, KY – Americans for Prosperity today announced the hire of Andrew V. McNeill as the new State Director for its Kentucky Chapter.

“I am very excited about this opportunity to work for an organization dedicated to advancing economic freedom and improving the lives of all Kentuckians,” AFP-KY State Director Andrew V.

As Deputy State Budget Director, Andrew continued to serve on the Governor’s Office senior staff that in 2017 lead the efforts in a historical session of the General Assembly, enacting pro-freedom policies like right-to-work, paycheck protection, the authorization of charter schools and the repeal of the prevailing wage.

His volunteer efforts focus on supporting refugee assimilation into American society through the work of Kentucky Refugee Ministries.
