Andy became the Member of Parliament for Leigh in 2001 and served as both Culture Secretary and Health Secretary under Gordon Brown. Previously, he was Chief Secretary to the Treasury during one of the most turbulent times for the world’s financial markets.\r\n\r\nIn 2017 he left Westminster to successfully run for the new role of mayor of Greater Manchester, and was re-elected for a second term last year.
