From 2009 until his retirement in 2015, Andrews was the director of the Centennial Institute, which sponsors events, publications, and research in public policy areas.

The Institute was founded in 2009 by Andrews and former US Senator William Armstrong, late president of CCU.

2010

Through the Centennial Institute, Andrews helped establish the Western Conservative Summit, which has been held every year since 2010 in Denver.

Andrews has later served as national board chairman of former FBI agent John Guandolo's organization Understanding the Threat, designated as an anti-Muslim "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The group has also been described as a part of the counter-jihad movement.

2011

A familiar voice in Colorado TV, radio, and newspaper commentary, he is also the author of Responsibility Reborn: A Citizen's Guide to the Next American Century (2011) and Backbone Colorado USA: Dispatches from the Divide (2015).

2016

In 2016, Andrews himself cited "counter-jihad" as one of the reasons why he switched to support Donald Trump for president.

2019

During an address to the Western Conservative Summit on July 12, 2019, Andrews delivered a series of talking points that proved controversial.

He claimed that organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) were engaging in "civilizational jihad" and trying to move the United States to a Sharia Law based system.

He also made the claim that Muslim values are inherently antithetical to American values, saying "They will tell you that a good and faithful Muslim can also be a good and faithful American. Sorry, but I don’t see how", as well as stating that the United States was engaged in a "war to the death" with two intrinsic enemies, "The name of one is Marx. The name of the other is Mohammed".

Krista Cole, vice-chair of the Colorado chapter of CAIR, denounced his speech as "Islamophobic".

CAIR called for prominent political figures in attendance, including Colorado Senator Cory Gardner, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Donald Trump Jr.., to condemn the speech.

Andrews went on to organize an "anti-Sharia" event later that year that featured noted European anti-Islam speakers Katie Hopkins and Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, which was seen to display Andrews' connections to the transatlantic counter-jihad movement.

The Western Conservative Summit under Andrews had previously also brought in such speakers as Geert Wilders and Frank Gaffney.
