Andrew Jeremy Hysell (born August 1971) is an American lawyer, public policy consultant, and Democratic politician from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
[4] That year he worked in the state of Washington to oppose a Republican referendum seeking to bypass the Democratic governor's veto to slash highway taxes and replace the money by issuing new debt.
He returned to electoral politics in 2004, working as campaign manager for New York firefighter Kevin McAdams in an unsuccessful primary challenge against U.S. representative Eliot Engel.
[7] After McAdams' defeat, Hysell was hired as legislative counsel to the Connecticut State Senate Democrats, where he worked for the next two years.
The grant was awarded under Republican governor Sam Brownback in 2013, using federal funding from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
When Democratic governor Laura Kelly took office in 2019, her team began examining existing grants and contracts and terminated Hysell & Wagner's agreement.
48th district incumbent Samba Baldeh chose to forgo re-election to instead run for Wisconsin Senate, leaving the 48th an open seat.
Hysell's career history again came under intense scrutiny from a coordinated move by his four rivals, although this time he also had the endorsement of prominent Madison area Democratic state senators Melissa Agard and Kelda Roys.
