Andrew Boff is a British politician and a Conservative member of the London Assembly, elected in the 2008 election. He is a London-wide member, representing all thirty-two boroughs and the City of London.
Andrew Boff is a supporter of the "Yes to fairer votes" campaign. He was the Conservative representative at a Yes! event in London on 3 May 2011.
Active in politics since the 1970s he was a Young Conservative branch founder whilst still at school and in 1976 proposed the legalisation of cannabis at a Young Conservative national conference. His mother Elsie was already a councillor when he was elected a councillor in Hillingdon in 1982 and he was Leader of the Council between 1990 and 1992. In 1992, he stepped down to run for Parliament, defending the marginal Hornsey and Wood Green constituency, but he lost the seat to Labour's Barbara Roche.
Boff ran in the safe Labour seat of London South Inner in the 1994 elections to the European Parliament and was placed seventh on the Conservative list in London in the 1999 election. He failed to be elected both times.
He contested the Conservative nomination for the London mayoral elections in 2000, 2004, and 2008. He came second in 2000, behind Steven Norris, and came second once again in 2008.
