Annie Andrews: "I do not support the war in Iran…My opponent is the only one on this stage who had the opportunity to vote to end the war, but three times in a row she voted to continue it…Why would we hand Darline Graham a full term in the U.S. Senate? She is unserious and she is unqualified."

Annie Andrews: "The real difference between me and Senator Graham is that I stand up to my own party and I will always put South Carolina first. She seems to believe the job she has right now is to be the White House's ambassador to South Carolina."

Annie Andrews: "I am deeply sorry for what the Graham family has been through over the past several months…But now we're talking about a full term in the U.S. Senate, and it's nothing personal, but she has shown time and time again that she is not up for the job."

Darline Graham admits to prioritizing people in DC rather than South Carolina, and then refuses another debate:
I've been working hard representing the people in Washington. That's more important than standing here on the debate stage.

"U.S. Senate candidate @drannieandrews.com told a group of voters at an Oct. 6 campaign event in Greer that her top priority would be to protect the Medicaid program." Not just one priority among many as senator. Protecting Medicaid is literally going to be her top priority as senator.

Darline Graham kept saying in tonight's debate that she has a job to do, being a Senator. But the Senate is not actually in session until after the election.

I’m in conservative Republican Chapin, SC right now. 5 @drannieandrews.com signs so far, no Darline Graham signs. None of the Annie signs were in yards, they’re along the main roadway. Still, her sign game is stronger than Graham’s even in a very Republican area.
