Andrew Walker

Andrew Robert Walker (September 26, 1962 – May 20, 2003) was an American politician who served as the U.S. Representative from the 1st district from 2002 until his death in 2003. He was a member of the Democratic Party.

Walker was the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in the 2004 presidential election, but due to bad polling numbers, he suspended his campaign and endorsed Ben Walker (no relation) for the presidency.

On May 20, 2003, shortly after withdrawing from the presidential election, Walker was found dead by his neighbor after having fatally shot himself in the head. The neighbor who discovered him said the sound of the gunshot prompted him to check in on Walker, whom he discovered dead in his living room. Walker's death was ruled a suicide.
