"With Andy, we will have a congressman that can go and convince others that my problems are their concern." "Andy is a fiscal conservative who will fight for fiscal policies on the national level"

Councilwoman Gail
Bartkovich : "Andy Harris will represent Wicomico County and the Eastern
Shore well in Congress."

Councilman Joe
Holloway: "His views and mine fall along the same lines." "Andy is against gun-control."

Former Secretary of
Agriculture Lew Riley: "Andy was one of the first state senators to put agriculture on a level playing field."

"I am humbled these elected officials from the Eastern Shore believe I will best represent Shore values in Congress," said Andy Harris. "In Washington, I will fight to lower taxes and decrease wasteful government spending, so our economy will produce high-paying jobs for families across the first district."
