Andrew Boardman
Welcome! I'm Andrew Boardman, a results-driven researcher, communicator and advocate with experience developing solutions to advance economic justice at scale.
I am currently a law student at U.C. Berkeley School of Law. I previously worked as a policy analyst at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy in Washington, D.C., where my research, analysis and advocacy focused on on shaping tax and budget policies to address pressing economic challenges like opportunity, inequality and poverty.
My past experience includes serving as a researcher at the Urban Institute, as a volunteer tax preparer for low-income families, and as a fellow and American Rescue Plan Act policy consultant to the City of Providence, R.I. In these and other roles I have developed and executed projects for policymakers and advocates in Congress, statehouses and city halls.
