Let’s say Dr. Annie Andrews (D) wins the Senate race. What are some policies, actions, or initiatives you’d like to see from her that will benefit South Carolina?

Personally, I would love to see her take some action advocating for improved transit and urbanism. South Carolina is undoubtedly a growing state, yet the state is very car centric. If the state doesn’t start thinking long term, traffic, especially in urban areas, will become even more unbearable.

Greenville, Charleston, and Columbia would be GREAT candidates for fully dedicated bike lines, improved streetscapes (including sidewalks at all roads and burying overhead electric wires), and potentially even maybe getting one of these cities a BRT or Streetcar system.

Simply put, South Carolina CANNOT afford to be left behind when it comes to transit, urban planning, and public infrastructure and I hope soon to be Senator Dr. Andrews can advocate for this in the senate.

On a national level, if she could pull a reverse Fetterman and become a progressive firebrand instead of the relative “Moderate” she’s running under, it’ll be the best vote I ever casted.

In August the Justice told WSJ he wasn’t going anywhere. Now, weeks before an increasingly bleak GOP midterm election outlook he reverses course.

Any chance Alito is playing politics and trying to energize GOP midterm voters?

Democrat's advertising?

I'm only seeing ads for Dr. Andrews. While I'm aware that the DNC writes off SC, is there really nothing going for all the other candidates?
