From August 30, 2022 post.
It was a day of campaign stops in Beaufort County for the Democratic challenger in South Carolina's First Congressional District.
Dr. Annie Andrews spoke to voters at events in both Bluffton and Hilton Head.
The pediatrician and mother of three is a relative newcomer to politics.
She said she began as a gun control prevention researcher, then decided to get involved deeper in the political work and run for office after seeing how current congresswoman Nancy Mace voted on topics like climate change, and gun control legislation.
“She was the one mother in this district after the Uvalde shooting to have a chance to stand up and do something to protect our schools and she wasn’t able to do that,” explains Andrews. “She voted against that bill, she voted against the January 6th hearing, she voted against impeaching Donald Trump. She doesn’t have a voting record in line with what people in the 1st District are focused on.”
Now Andrews says she is seeing a new groundswell of support for her campaign since the decision to overturn Roe vs Wade by the Supreme Court and the recent rash of strict abortion regulations in states across America, including those proposed in South Carolina.
