Story summary

Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat representing South Carolina, is emphasizing her commitment to listening and addressing constituents' concerns rather than engaging in Washington's political games. During a recent campaign stop in Aiken, she met with voters including a lifelong Reagan Republican who had never before voted Democrat but wanted to know if Andrews would genuinely listen to their issues. Andrews has been campaigning for 18 months and highlights her background as a healthcare provider who deals with real-world problems daily.

She emphasizes that her political career was not the initial goal; instead, she became involved due to witnessing first-hand the struggles of families dealing with economic hardships like choosing between essential medications and groceries. Throughout South Carolina, Andrews has met with various groups including farmers hurt by tariffs in Barnwell County, veterans concerned about ongoing conflicts in Iran, and residents without access to hospitals in Marlboro County.
