(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — 314 Action Fund today announced the endorsement of Dr. Annie Andrews for U.S. Senate in South Carolina. With her U.S. Senate campaign, Dr. Andrews is a Guardian of Public Health candidate, answering the call to serve as 314 Action works to elect 100 new doctors in office by 2030.
“At a time when public health is under relentless attack, South Carolinians need a senator who will stand up for them—and that’s Dr. Annie Andrews,” said Shaughnessy Naughton, President of 314 Action Fund. “Now more than ever, we need to elect doctors who understand the importance of keeping science in Washington. She has the grit to run a tough race and the compassion to serve as an experienced pediatrician who has cared for children in emergencies. In the Senate, Dr. Andrews will always fight to improve the lives of South Carolinians—unlike Senator Lindsey Graham, who is willing to strip 1.3 million individuals of their health insurance. We’re proud to endorse Dr. Andrews for U.S. Senate and look forward to supporting her campaign.”
“These unprecedented attacks on our health care are exactly why I’m running for Senate. South Carolina deserves better from their elected officials and it’s time for Lindsey Graham to go,” said Dr. Annie Andrews. “As a pediatrician, I know firsthand what working families need to keep their children safe and healthy. I’m proud to be endorsed by 314 Action, an organization that has been on the frontlines in the fight to keep Republicans from gutting life-saving programs, and I look forward to working together.”
Dr. Annie Andrews has spent her career serving South Carolina families as a pediatrician. She’s seen how career politicians’ votes harm the very people they’re supposed to protect—from the price-gouging of life-saving medication, gun violence, and a broken economy, among others issues. She’ll always fight for every family to have the chance to raise their kids in safety and with dignity, with access to affordable health care, quality public schools, and economic security.
Through Guardians of Public Health, 314 Action is working to elect 100 new doctors, up and down the ballot and across the nation by 2030, raising and spending over $25 million in the effort.
314 Action Fund is the only national organization working to elect scientists and physicians who are Democrats across all levels of government—from the Senate down to local school boards. The organization is powered by a grassroots community of over six million people supporting scientists, doctors, and STEM professionals who will use science and facts to address our most pressing issues like climate change and health care.
