"Andy's message of consistent conservative leadership - a direct contrast to liberal Wayne Gilchrest's support for higher taxes, wasteful government spending, and amnesty for illegal immigrants - is energizing people to finally break with the incumbent and open their wallets to help Andy become the next congressman", said Chris Meekins, campaign manager for the Harris campaign.
