Andy J. Welti (born May 28, 1980) was a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
A Democrat, he was first elected in 2004, defeating four-term incumbent Republican Bill Kuisle.
Just 24 years of age at the time, his victory over Kuisle (who served as chair of the Transportation Committee, and was also a member of the Ways and Means Committee[1]) was regarded as a significant political upset in the traditionally Republican area.
Welti represented District 30B, which includes portions of Rochester and largely rural areas of Olmsted, Winona, and Wabasha counties, including the towns of Stewartville, Dover, Eyota, Chatfield, part of St. Charles, and his home town of Plainview.
During his time in the legislature, his work has focused largely on veteran's affairs, education, agriculture and alternative energy.
