I love our union and I am committed through communication, education, organizing, and collective action to continue fighting for our future!

Andrew Stumme is a man of insight and integrity. He has an intuitive grasp of human nature and extremely keen ‘situational awareness’. But his moral compass is always facing ‘true north’ – that is something extremely valuable, especially in current times. You would be hard pressed to find anyone else with these combined traits, and you would want that person working for your future wellbeing. I trust and respect Andy and suggest you do as well. We would be fortunate to have him as our ANED.
– Alex Hajdu
I have been fortunate throughout several years to work closely with, and alongside Andrew Stumme, and to witness how diligently and effectively he works on behalf of the Guild – in professional and Union-related activities, in complicated negotiations with Employers, and in delicate member interactions. Andrew is well-respected and intuitive, and is consistently level-headed, articulate, and effective. His creativity and approachability, along with his ability to build consensus and professional relationships have served Local 800 incredibly well, and as ANED, Andrew will be even better positioned to build an even stronger union. Andrew has the right level of empathy, and intellect, as well as proven professional experience, demeanor and leadership skills to interface effectively and successfully with Studios and Employers, and is the perfect ANED choice to serve Local 800 members.
-Nelson Coates
I’ve been privileged to know Andy through the entirety of my time in Local 800, as he was one of the first people to welcome me into the Guild. His steadfast support of new members through the Young Artists Committee made an enormous impact on me, personally, and I credit his positive leadership with my choice to become involved with the YAC and our Craft Council. Whether in meetings, negotiations, or sidebars, Andy can be counted on to offer a receptive ear and a reasonable voice. I endorse his candidacy with the utmost confidence in his experience and the belief that he will continue to put the interest of our members — no matter their age or experience — first.

Andrew believes in the strength and endurance of our Union and will work tirelessly on the behalf of all of our members across all crafts. He has dedicated the last decade to building strong relationships with our membership and with labor leaders, and is uniquely well positioned to serve us as our next ANED.
