Former Sun Devil QB Andrew Walter running for Congress

During his playing career at Arizona State, Andrew Walter made quite an impression.

In three years as the Sun Devils’ starting quarterback, Walter helped ASU to a 22-16 record, and finished his career as the Pac-10’s all-time leader in touchdown passes with 85.

Now, he’s trying to make an impact on the state in a different capacity. Walter, a Republican, is running for U.S. Congress from Arizona’s District 9 in 2014. The District 9 seat is held by recently-elected Democrat Kyrsten Sinema.

“I’ve been to many different places over the years, but Arizona will always be my home. I want to take the hard work and dedication the Walter name is known for and make a difference in Washington,” a statement from Walter reads on his official website.

Walter is an Arizona native and lives and works in Congressional District 9.
