In today’s Washington Post, we found an interesting analysis of the 1st Congressional District and the fate of incumbent Andy Harris as Maryland begins the process of redistricting the state.
“Ten years ago, as Maryland Democrats sat down to redraw the state’s eight congressional districts, they considered making Republican members of Congress go extinct.
Now, ahead of a new round of redistricting, Harris is fundraising off the possibility that he could be Democrats’ next — and last — Republican target. “Democrats are trying to REDRAW my congressional district to DEFEAT ME,” he claimed in a recent campaign mailer.”

GREAT!!! Can’t wait to see him go. We here on the Eastern Shore deserve a better and balanced congressional representative.

This coward was in the 4th of July parade in Havre de Grace today. Dressed as Uncle Sam holding an American flah. No sign on the car pulling the cart he was on, but I recognized this coward and tRumpaholic traitor

Resign because of your failure to read the room.

Those who keep referring to Harris as ‘the Eastern Shore Congressman’ should be reminded that the majority of voters on the Eastern Shore didn’t vote for him. He’s been re-elected because we’re outnumbered by his constituents on the other side of the Bay!!!

Many of us would like to think that’s true, Karen, but it’s not. Since Maryland’s First Congressional District was redrawn after the 2010 election, Andy Harris has won the Eastern Shore handily. (Because Cecil County divides across the Susquehanna, I excluded it from the vote counts in looking at the results; however, Andy Harris always wins Cecil in a romp.) I worked on Jesse Colvin’s 2018 campaign; even with a blue wave and a great candidate, Jesse took only Kent and Talbot Counties.

We live in Baltimore County just south of Harford and part of Cecil Counties, and the support for Trump and Harris is still very evident there! Many of the signs and flags that were abundant in the 2020 election have yet to be taken down. Bravo for Kent and Talbot Counties for supporting truth and the Constitution.
