Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse sit down with Dr. Annie Andrews to talk about how her work as a pediatrician and gun violence prevention activist compelled her to run for congress. In the second half of the show, Doug and Robb marvel at the RNC declaring the January 6 Insurrection, "legitimate political discourse."

She cares for children and adolescents from all over the Lowcountry at the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital. There she also developed and directed the Advocacy Curriculum for the Department of Pediatrics.
She is a gun violence prevention researcher and community advocate working to reduce the frequency of pediatric firearm injuries with a focus on secure storage counseling and gun safety education in the community. She is an active volunteer with Moms Demand Action, the largest grassroots gun violence prevention organization in the country.
