Before pursuing a career in public service, Andy had a successful run as an entrepreneur in the restaurant industry and in real estate investment. Following this, he became involved with Abolition International, an anti-human trafficking organization, serving as the COO. It was during this time that he oversaw operations and investments in several countries to combat the evils of human trafficking.

Andy began his time with Americans for Prosperity (AFP) in 2013, working on economic, tax, and healthcare policy. During this period, he wrote and contributed to publications on the harms of Obamacare and other tax policies, focusing on their impacts on Tennessee. After AFP, Andy joined the Laffer Center for Supply-Side Economics, where he served as the Executive Director. He oversaw various in-depth projects during his tenure, perhaps most notably assisting with a major project to restructure Tennessee's burdensome tax code. In 2018, Andy began his public service as Mayor of Maury County, Tennessee, and was revered as Tennessee's most conservative mayor at the time. In 2023, he began his first term as the U.S. Representative for Tennessee's 5th District. He has always been a fighter, whether for limited government, better economic policies, or more freedom. Andy Ogles is committed to his mission of upholding the Constitution and excelling in the representation of Tennessee's 5th Congressional District. He is thankful for the privilege of serving and hopes to continue doing so.
