It is inspiring to see how many women entered politics in the past few years, when Tennessee’s laws began hitting close to home. OB-GYN Dr. Laura Andreson was spurred into activism by the state’s abortion ban, which adversely affects her patients and could potentially even threaten her job. There are so many to honor in this space, but few speak up as often and as loudly as Andreson, who — even though she did not win — ran for state House District 63 last year, participated in a national lawsuit, and spoke out at the statehouse and at rallies, all while maintaining a patient load. Andreson also recently announced that she’ll be running for the District 63 seat again in 2026.
