I'm Charlie Andrade, a freshman at the University of Kansas studying political science and international relations.
I write a weekly Substack covering foreign policy, domestic politics, and larger cultural issues. The thoughtful exchange and honing of ideas and policies will be crucial in a more fractured and unstable geopolitical environment, and I encourage feedback from individuals across the political spectrum.
I'm passionate about nuclear arms control and working to create a safer, nuclear-free world. I strongly believe in the ability of young people such as myself to come together and be a force for genuine and unbreakable peace. I hope that my writing and work in the anti-nuclear space can be a small step toward this ambitious goal.
I've been a politics junkie since I was very young, even wearing a homemade Michael Dukakis costume for Halloween on multiple occasions. While I considered adding interior decorating as one of my skills, I fear not everyone would appreciate a framed Kerry-Edwards 2004 sign.
