Brownstone Midwest Supper Club, September 8th, 2025: Andrew Horning

September 8, 6:30PM – 9:30PM
We are delighted to announce the next meeting of the Brownstone Midwest Supper Club on Monday, September 8, featuring Andrew Horning, Former Libertarian Candidate and Advocate for Constitutional Rule of Law.
About the Talk:
How well do you understand the US Constitution? Test your knowledge when you join us for an engaging and informative evening featuring Andrew Horning, Advocate for Constitutional Rule of Law. Mr. Horning will tell us how our constitutional design was supposed to work and illuminate those parts that are often poorly understood or even unknown. He’ll speak about how we have screwed up the Constitution and how we can and must fix it.
About Andy Horning:
Andy Horning is a constitutional advocate, author, and retired medical technology developer who has spent three decades fighting for equal ballot access and challenging the corruption of America’s two-party system. A former Indianapolis Star columnist and Adjunct Scholar with the Indiana Policy Review, Horning won the GOP primary for Indianapolis’s US House seat in 2004 and later ran as a Libertarian candidate for Governor, US House, and US Senate.
On July 4, 2007, Horning led the property tax protest on the Governor’s Mansion lawn that made national news and is credited in at least one book with helping launch the Tea Party movement. He has sued both state and federal governments multiple times in defense of constitutional principles, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the rule of law.
Before retiring in 2022, Horning worked in medical imaging device development and authored peer-reviewed papers on clinical and technical subjects. A former cartoonist, he wrote and illustrated a book on stress echocardiography and is the author of “Relighting the Torch” and “The Truth about Excelsior,” both available on Amazon.
Despite decades of advocacy yielding mixed results, Horning maintains high hopes for a future of peace, prosperity, justice, and freedom.
