Dr. Annie Andrews — the unsuccessful congressional candidate, pediatrician and founder of the PAC “Their Future. Our Vote.” — announced Thursday she’s once again running for Congress. This time, she’s challenging Sen. Lindsey Graham.
“I never thought I’d end up in politics,” Andrews told NOTUS in an interview before her campaign’s launch. “But after spending nearly two decades in the children’s hospital, I started to understand the way in which broken policies coming out of Washington, D.C., were hurting kids and families before they even got to me in the hospital.”
Andrews has centered her launch around children’s issues, playing up her profile as a mother of three and a practicing pediatrician. In her video announcement, she called out Graham’s support of Trump administration policies like cutting cancer research grants from the National Institutes of Health, removing gun violence from being classified as a public health crisis and cuts to vaccine programs like measles.
