Andy Harris Raises Over $1,000,000

Annapolis: State Senator Andy Harris today announced his campaign has raised over $1,000,000 since he entered the race in June 2007. In less than nine months, Andy Harris has broken every Republican Primary fundraising record in the district.

"This is a clear indication that my conservative message of improving the economy, ending illegal immigration and winning the global War on Terror, is resonating with people everywhere," said Andy Harris. "I am truly humbled by the depth of support I have received."

Harris' fundraising has established a strong fundraising base for the final few weeks of the campaign. He has amassed over 5500 unique donors.

"Voters want change," said Chris Meekins, Campaign Manager for the Harris campaign. "They want a return to our core conservative values and Andy Harris is the only conservative in this race."

Andy's conservative message is also being embraced by voters throughout the district. In a major upset last week, Harris won an overwhelming 67% of the vote at a 400 person straw poll in Anne Arundel County. Earlier this year, Harris won a straw poll in Wicomico County on the Eastern Shore as well.

Federal Election Commission reports show that Harris had out-raised Gilchrest over the last two reporting periods.
