And again, I could run in at least three or four of the districts.” “My name recognition is fairly statewide, especially among Republicans. “It depends on who, which other candidates, Republican candidates pop up in some of the other districts,” Harris said. Members of Congress do not have to live in their districts. Harris said he is not ruling out running in another congressional district, depending on the map the legislature approves. “The Democrats can’t defeat me at the ballot box so they’re going to defeat me on the gerrymander vote, or at least they’re going to attempt to.” Harris says the map is clearly aimed at him.

The legislature’s Redistricting Advisory Commission adopted a map on a party line vote last week that would make the first district more competitive for the six term Republican. The outcome could determine whether Congressman Andy Harris decides to run in another district. I hope the good people of Maryland’s First Congressional District see this blatant assault on our democracy, and their freedom for what it is, and call for the immediate resignation of Representative Andy Harris.The General Assembly meets next week in a special session to redraw the congressional district lines. It will also be remembered as the day that our president, and some in the Republican Party, failed to stand up for the very ideals the Capitol Building symbolizes. January 6th, 2021 will forever be remembered as the day that our very halls of democracy were occupied by those who opposed most sacred duties of our Republic. While the efforts of President Trump and Representative Harris have failed, and Joe Biden will become our president on January 20th, I fear that they may have inflicted serious harm on our democratic system. His conduct – which includes a well-publicized attempt at fisticuffs with a Democrat legislator - is a disgrace to the First Congressional District, and to all the people of Maryland. Representative Harris’ actions have been nothing short of an attack on our democracy, a betrayal of those whom he represents, and an attempt to overturn a legitimate election in favor of a wannabe authoritarian. They have attempted to subvert the will of the voters of our State and our country by encouraging riotous behavior in our Nation’s Capital. Make no mistake, the Republican members of Congress who instigated this violence - including Representative Harris - are complicit in this attempted insurrection.

A building that has always been a shining beacon of democracy, a safe haven for freedom, became overrun with those consumed by the hate and lies that Representative Harris and his ilk have been spreading.

A terrorist mob stormed our Capitol at the urging of President Trump. Yesterday, we saw the results of their inflammatory rhetoric and blatant falsehoods. Yet, even after repeated result certification and dismissal by even the most conservative of judges, Representative Harris has continued to spout President Trump’s lies. In Maryland, President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris won by more than any other presidential ticket in history. This outcome has been certified by every state, upheld by every court, and re-affirmed by the Electoral College. There is no dispute about the result of this year’s presidential election, President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris won in a landslide. They have made baseless claims of voter fraud and election irregularities - unsupported by credible evidence - which have been uniformly rejected by both federal and state courts as well as by Republican election officials. For months, President Donald Trump and Representative Andy Harris have sought to undermine the will of voters across Maryland and our nation.
