Summary
Dr. Annie Andrews has spent her career as a pediatrician fighting for children and families, and now she is taking that fight to the Senate. She is a mom and Democrat running to unseat Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. After nearly two decades in children’s hospitals, Annie saw how Washington’s failures reach all the way into her hospital room every day. Kids shot in their own neighborhoods, parents forced to ration medication, families unable to find mental health care. So she got involved in advocacy and policy—and what she saw in the halls of power appalled her. With public health under attack, we need leaders like Annie in office. In this conversation, we discussed what it’s like to go from a private everyday citizen to someone who is trying to protect people and force change, the pivotal moment that motivated Annie to run for Senate, why it’s important to support Democratic candidates in “red” states, and why we can’t stop fighting against the political corruption in our government.
