Congressional candidate Andrew Gutmann has a feel-good story that will make conservatives swoon. More importantly, he has a reason for running that appeals to parents of all stripes. An expert on economics, Gutmann is an economics graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a further MBA from Columbia Business School. He worked for the Federal Reserve for 10 years and is an accomplished author, teacher, and advisor.
For the great majority of his adult life, business was his life, but that all changed in 2020. His daughter had been enrolled in the world-class prep school The Brearley School in New York, and Andrew became aware of the school’s decision to embed critical race theory and woke indoctrination a part of its academic mission. Andrew wrote a letter to the parents of the school, making the case that the school had changed its focus from education to creating a new generation of progressive activists.
