Andy Harris Launches Final Ad Blitz

Annapolis - Today, Andy Harris launched his final television ad of the campaign. This ad comes on the heels of a positive economic television ad in which Andy outlined his vision for how to improve our ailing economy.
The new ad features individual voters from the district who have decided Wayne Gilchrest no longer represents their values. "Republicans throughout the district agree that Wayne Gilchrest no longer shares their values." said Chris Meekins, Campaign Manager for Harris for Congress. The individuals in the ad point out Gilchrest liberal fiscal record in Washington.

Former Republican Governor Bob Ehrlich closes the ad with "I'm supporting Andy Harris. He's the true conservative in this race." This is the first advertisement in which Governor Ehrlich has been used by the Andy Harris campaign. In the most poignant line in the ad a young mother says, "He supports funding for abortion," then a purple heart World War II veteran who was a prisoner of war in Germany says, "but not for our troops."

The campaign did a sizeable buy. "By the end of this campaign, every voter will have seen this ad that draws a stark contrast between conservative Andy Harris and liberal Wayne Gilchrest," said Chris Meekins.

"We sent Wayne to change Washington, but Washington changed Wayne" Meekins added. "Now we need to change congressman."
