BackgroundPediatrician
Notable personal detailsAnnie Andrews is a pediatrician and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in South Carolina in the 2026 election cycle. She previously ran for South Carolina’s 1st congressional district in 2022. She has worked in pediatric medicine in Charleston and has been involved in child-focused advocacy, including launching Their Future PAC.
Supports policies aimed at reducing costs for families and expanding economic security for working people, including prioritizing making the child tax credit permanent and opposing corporate PAC influence in her campaign finance. Emphasizes affordable care, quality schools, and measures to lower costs for families as part of her economic agenda.
Supports expanding access to affordable care through policies such as a public option, protecting and expanding Medicaid and Medicare, lowering prescription drug costs, strengthening vaccine access and public-health preparedness, and improving mental-health care and rural hospital access.
Supports strengthened border security while also backing a fair path to citizenship, due process for families, and policies that keep families together and support the state’s workforce. Describes the approach as combining law enforcement with compassion — "security with dignity."
Supports reproductive freedom and describes abortion as health care; advocates restoring reproductive rights and making abortion available up to fetal viability while opposing strict statewide bans. Positions emphasize trusting women and protecting access to abortion services.
Supports urgent action on climate change and includes climate among her priority issues; favors policies to protect children’s health from environmental harms and advance clean energy solutions rather than defending expanded fossil-fuel development.
The candidate endorses universal background checks, banning assault/“weapons of war” from civilian use, safe-storage laws, and increased funding for community violence prevention and mental-health programs. She frames gun violence as a public-health crisis while saying she respects the Second Amendment but supports federal and state reforms to keep guns out of the wrong hands.
Annie Andrews is running for the South Carolina Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, and the race is now in the final stretch ahead of the June 9 primary. She is competing against Brandon Brown, with Democrats trying to build a credible challenge in a state Republicans usually dominate. Andrews has also been campaigning on health care and vaccine issues, including using the state’s measles outbreak as a campaign theme.
