Annie Andrews, MD, MSCR, is a Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) College of Medicine, Pediatric Hospitalist at MUSC Health and ran for the Congressional seat of SC-1 in 2022. After the election she founded a political action committee (PAC), one of the first focused on children, called ‘Their Future. Our Vote.’

We talk through her decision to shift careers away from medicine and run for Congress as well as her campaign experience. In addition to being a pediatrician she is recognized as an expert in gun violence prevention. We also talk through her next pursuit of a new PAC focused on children. While she doesn’t plan to continue practicing medicine full-time, she’s found a way to advocate and take care of children in a new way!
