Because local news outlets with wider circulation may print his release, and have far wider circulation, I shall only summarize.
Hillebregt is from here. Andy is a graduate of Elk River Senior High School and attended Anoka-Ramsey Community College and Hennepin Technical College. He is married and he and wife Jill have three school-aged sons.
Hillebregt is a local businessman. As a primary business Andy owns and operates a tax preparation business, Eagle's Nest Tax Service (6957 West Hwy 10, Suite 202, Ramsey, Mn 55303 - office 763-243-4427 cell-612-723-0772). Andy also farms, operating an eggs-chicken-rabbit sales business, Hillebregt's Family Farms, in Ramsey, (same cellphone).
In my view this puts Hillebregt in a good position to appreciate the north metro's transitioning from a primarily rural-farming area to one of suburban housing, family businesses, and a range of medium size businesses. He can experience and understand growth that way with all its challenging dimensions - because he is in the middle of it as it is happening..
It probably is harder to feel and understand such change from within a more entrenched community, which is the case for chiropractor Jim Abeler, the District 35A incumbent who has been a long time resident and commercial property owner-landlord, in Anoka.
I expect Hillebregt would bring a fresher perspective to the legislature if elected, while being as accessible to individual citizens as Abeler has been.
As to issues and details beyond this summary, there is the Hillebregt campaign website (where his entire press release is posted on the homepage):

Previously I posted a photo of Hillebregt from his 2010 run for a county board seat. He has provided a more current photo which has been substituted above.
