Background: Andrew M. 'Andy' Wolfenbarger; 27+ year career educator, currently Director of Infrastructure and Engineering at Loudoun County Public Schools (third-largest VA division — 41 staff, tech infrastructure for ~82,500 students across 100 sites). Prior roles: 6 years high-school classroom teacher in Orange County (VA), 13 years Stafford County tech leadership, 4 years Prince William County (information security + student data). Adjunct at Germanna CC and University of Mary Washington. Lives in Fredericksburg's Idlewild neighborhood 20+ years; 8 years on the Idlewild HOA Board; three children in/through FCPS. Elected to FXBG City School Board Ward 1 Nov 4, 2025 uncontested with 1,859 votes (97.03%), filling the seat of Matt Rowe (ran for City Council Ward 1); sworn in Jan 2026; 4-year term ends Dec 2029. Race officially nonpartisan; endorsed by the Fredericksburg Democratic Committee. No public church/denominational affiliation located (the 'Pastor Andrew Wolfenbarger' on YouTube/LinkedIn is a different person, Joshua Baptist Church, Joshua, TX).

Profile is roster-verified scaffolding awaiting a voting record.
[2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement] Roster verified: FXBG City School Board Ward 1, elected Nov 4, 2025 uncontested (1,859 votes, 97.03%), sworn in Jan 2026, term ends Dec 2029. Race officially nonpartisan; endorsed by the Fredericksburg Democratic Committee (FXBG Republicans do not endorse in local races). Career education-establishment insider — Director at Loudoun County Public Schools, Ed.D. + M.Ed., 27 years K-12. CAMPAIGN POSTURE: deliberately performance/data-focused, NOT culture-war framing in either direction — campaign priorities are SOL scores, staff retention, academic rigor. FXBG Advance questionnaire contained NO LGBTQ-related questions and he made no public statements on Pride/drag/library content/SOGI/CRT/parental-notification. First documented vote (March 3, 2026): YES on $68.4M FY27 budget (4-1 majority, 5.7% increase) and publicly advocated for HIGHER teacher raises (9% vs proposed 7%) — a pro-spending direction, framed by him as 'fiscal responsibility... if there are big increases, it's clear to everybody.' Net read: VERY THIN ISSUE FOOTPRINT — ~5 months on the dais and deliberately avoided culture-war positioning. NO EVIDENCE FOUND on sanctity_of_life, biblical_marriage (no Pride/drag/library/SOGI statement; FCPS division handles transgender students case-by-case with no formal parental-notification policy, but Wolfenbarger has not personally voted on this), family_child_sovereignty (no school-choice/parental-notification/CRT-opposition statements; Dem-endorsed but did not run on SOGI-inclusion either), christian_liberty (no invocation; no church publicly identified), economic_stewardship q2 (FY27 yes-vote + push for higher raises is a pro-spending direction but local school boards do not deficit-spend in the constitutional-balanced-budget-amendment sense the rubric question contemplates — score left null pending a more direct fiscal-restraint signal), election_integrity, public_justice (no SRO/school-safety statement), refuse_state_overreach (no VDOE-mandate statement personally), border_immigration, self_defense.
