Dr. Annie Andrews Launches Senate Campaign Against Lindsey Graham
COLUMBIA, SC – Pediatrician Dr. Annie Andrews has officially declared her candidacy to challenge Republican Senator Lindsey Graham in the upcoming election. The announcement, made on Wednesday, was accompanied by a striking three-and-a-half-minute political advertisement that has captured considerable attention.
In the ad, Andrews, who has practiced medicine in South Carolina for nearly two decades, begins by critiquing Graham, labeling him as "full of s—." She highlights serious health issues among children, showcasing X-rays of kids affected by preventable diseases, such as measles pneumonia, and emphasizes the public health crisis stemming from gun violence. Andrews states, “It’s embarrassing, and South Carolina deserves better,” positioning herself as a champion for children’s health care and social welfare.
The ad also critiques Graham’s support for various Trump administration figures, portraying a narrative of inconsistency in Graham’s political stances. Andrews challenges the senator to explain his support for policies detrimental to public services and social safety nets, stating, “He’s been a senator for half my lifetime, and it turns out, most senators don’t get better with age.”
Andrews, who previously lost to Republican Rep. Nancy Mace in 2022, brings an assertive, relatable persona as a mother and pediatrician, expressing deep concerns over issues such as education, healthcare funding, and rising living costs. Her campaign focuses on common-sense solutions rather than divisive cultural debates, urging South Carolinians to join her fight for a better future.
Graham’s campaign swiftly responded, emphasizing his commitment to conservative values and criticizing Andrews as out of touch with South Carolina’s electorate. With the upcoming election poised for intense competition, Andrews aims to position herself as the voice for change in a state long represented by Graham.
