Andrew Russell completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Russell's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- My top priority is equal access to affordable medical treatment for everyone. I feel there are far too many South Carolinians without access to affordable healthcare. This would include urging the governor to expand Medicare and Medicaid in South Carolina.
- My second priority is to ensure every person with a uterus has access to medical privacy when it concerns their bodies. With the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, I fear South Carolina is going for a total abortion ban with the next session of the General Assembly.
- My last priority is ensuring every child in South Carolina is able to receive a quality education. South Carolina is currently 43rd in the nation for education, this is a travesty, especially when you factor in we have what is called “The Corridor of Shame” which is a stretch that runs down Interstate 95 and contains the most underfunded schools in the state, and possibly the country.
