Andrew Lopinot has had a passion to help others since he was young. In grade school and high school he got involved with various after school programs and volunteer opportunities. This desire to help others is what drove Andrew to attend Southeast Missouri State University, where he prepared to teach high school math. While in college, he started working as a Resident Advisor for campus housing and quickly realized a passion for public administration. After earning a Master’s in Higher Education Administration and Student Personnel at Kent State University, he left the area for an opportunity at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California. Forever a Midwesterner, Andrew knew he would return to St. Clair County. In 2014, Andrew was presented the opportunity to come back to Cardinal Nation to work at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as an Academic Advisor.
Andrew recently completed his Master’s in Public Administration and currently serves as the Chief Deputy Treasurer for St. Clair County. Through the program at SIUE and his time in the Treasurer's office, Andrew has acquired the skills and tools necessary to affect positive change as a local government administrator. Andrew also represented his neighbors and community as a Ward 5 Alderman for the City of O'Fallon from 2017-2018.
His strong passion for helping the community drove his decision to run for office. Andrew has both the education and experience to serve at the county level. His master’s degrees in Higher Education Administration and Public Administration have provided him the tool kit to put theory to practice. Andrew's career has also focused on administration in the public sector. He has established budgets, created strategic goals, supervised employees, and has maintained a positive relationship with the citizens he has interacted with on a daily basis.
