Andrew Aldridge Young (born March 23, 1966) is a former key staff member in the John Edwards 2008 presidential campaign, and is noted as the author of political biographical writing.
Young came to prominence via a scandal in which he claimed paternity of Rielle Hunter's child born on February 27, 2008.
John Edwards had admitted a past affair with Hunter, but denied paternity of the baby even though Edwards was in fact the father.
Young has since renounced that statement, and Edwards publicly admitted paternity on January 21, 2010.
