MEET ANDREW
LEADERSHIP ROOTED IN SERVICE. VISION FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE.
Andrew Flynn brings a lifetime of service, leadership, and results-driven experience to the fight for a stronger, more resilient and vibrant Pennsylvania.
A proven public servant and finance expert, Andrew understands that building a thriving future for our communities takes more than reactive policy—it requires proactive vision, practical leadership, and a deep understanding of how government works from the ground up.
​
Andrew’s professional journey spans multiple states and sectors, connecting the worlds of government, finance, and technology. In 2010, BNY Mellon brought him to Pittsburgh to serve as Chief Administrative Officer for Public Finance and a member of the BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Executive Team. There, he helped governments and institutions across the country tackle complex financial challenges—supporting infrastructure investment, economic development, and long-term planning to ensure communities were positioned to succeed.
Since being elected to the Mt. Lebanon Commission in 2020, Andrew has been a leading voice for innovation, sustainability, and equity in local government. Representing Ward 5 and serving as liaison to the Mt. Lebanon Mobility Board, he has worked to make local government more responsive, transparent, and forward-thinking. His leadership has helped advance key initiatives including climate resilience planning, improved walkability and multimodal transportation, more inclusive civic engagement, and critical infrastructure upgrades.
Andrew believes local government must meet the evolving needs of its residents. That belief has guided his support of and collaboration with community organizations like LeboGreen, MoveLebo, LeboPride, and the Mt. Lebanon Partnership. These partnerships have helped strengthen the fabric of community life by expanding environmental action, promoting local business, supporting LGBTQ+ inclusion, and creating vibrant, people-centered public spaces.
Beyond Mt. Lebanon, Andrew has taken on leadership in regional governance as President of the Congress of Neighboring Communities (CONNECT), a coalition of 41 municipalities, Allegheny County, and the City of Pittsburgh. Under his guidance, CONNECT has focused on preparing for the future of fire services, launching Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) programs to improve community safety outcomes, coordinating infrastructure resilience strategies, and building digital tools to enhance local government communication and resident engagement. This collaborative work reflects Andrew’s deep commitment to solving shared challenges through regional partnerships and smart public policy.

Andrew’s dedication to service is deeply personal. As the son of two Army officers, he was raised on military bases around the world, learning early on the value of duty, sacrifice, and community. After his father transitioned from military service to a second career as a City Manager and Finance Director, Andrew saw firsthand how sound fiscal planning and effective governance can transform a town’s future. Those experiences sparked his passion for public service and gave him a foundation in leadership that blends values with strategy.
​
Andrew’s life has been shaped by diverse experiences. He’s lived in Wyoming, where he worked as a cowboy, and in Russia and Ohio during his university years. His work has taken him to cities and communities large and small across the U.S. and internationally—always focused on helping public institutions function better and serve people more effectively. That perspective gives him both the global vision and local grounding needed to lead in today’s complex political landscape.
He also leads by example: as a volunteer firefighter and EMT Andrew doesn’t just advocate for public safety—he lives it. His service in these roles reflects his belief that leadership is about showing up when it matters most, and that trust is earned through action.
Married since 2002, Andrew and his wife Corey have three children—and two dogs—in Mt. Lebanon. As a parent, public servant, and community volunteer, he understands what’s at stake for families across Pennsylvania.
