Thomas Hiram Andrews (born March 22, 1953) is an American non-profit executive, and former Democratic congressman from Maine.

Early life and career

A 1976 graduate of Bowdoin College and alumnus of the Alpha Rho Upsilon fraternity, Andrews served in the Maine House of Representatives (1983–1985) and Maine State Senate (1985–1990).

Congress

In 1990, he was elected to the first of two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In his first congressional election, Andrews defeated the former Congressman Dave Emery in the race to succeed Democrat Joe Brennan. In his only re-election, Andrews soundly defeated Linda Bean, a descendant of L. L. Bean.

Senate campaign

In 1994, he did not run for re-election to the House but declared his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Democrat George J. Mitchell, then the Senate Majority Leader. Andrews lost the Senate election to his 2nd District colleague, Republican Olympia Snowe, by a wide margin.

Later career

Andrews served as National Director of Win Without War.[1][2] He has served on the boards of Council for a Livable World's PeacePAC (as Chairman), and the U.S. foreign policy reform group Just Foreign Policy.[3]

In 2016, he became the CEO of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.[4]

Myanmar

In 2020, Andrews was appointed as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Myanmar by the United Nations Human Rights Council.[5] Tom Andrews is being heavily criticized on Myanmar social media for never speaking out about the indiscriminate killings of civilians, especially by PDF groups,[6] and is known for presenting only one side of the story.
