Maryland’s 1st Congressional is one of the most beautiful places in the country, but also one of the most underserved. I will fight to make sure we get the resources our families and small businesses need. Showing up for your constituents is important—whether they voted for you or not. I promise to hold monthly town hall meetings across the district so I can better respond to the needs of our citizens. Rep. Harris has only held two in six years.

Rep. Andy Harris is perpetuating a scam on the American people by cutting taxes for billionaires while doing nothing for working families in Maryland. Everyday costs, for housing, groceries, utilities, health care, and transportation are out of control. He’s supported the tariffs and cuts to critical services that result in thousands in additional annual costs for American families. For young people in Maryland, owning a home has become out of reach. It’s impossible to save for emergencies, let alone for vacations. We will re-write rules, and pursue sensible economic policies that make the economy work for Maryland families and working class people, instead of for billionaires.

Eight-term Rep. Andy Harris works to take away our individual freedoms on a daily basis. He advocates for troops on the streets of American cities, withholds money from our county schools, and seeks to police women’s bodies. I will protect your rights, the rights of our neighbors, and families.

Our representatives should serve the people, not themselves. The American people are sick of watching members of Congress and the President and his family get rich while they struggle to get by. We need representatives who will stand up for their constituents. We need changes to public and corporate corruption laws to level the playing field between the American people, billionaires and professional politicians in Congress.
