NFIB And US Chamber Endorse Harris

Endorsements Show Andy is the Best Candidate to Improve the Economy

Bel Air - Andy Harris M.D. announced today he received the endorsement of the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in his campaign for Congress.

At the announcement, local business leaders who are supporting his campaign joined Andy. "In the State Senate, Andy Harris has been a great advocate," said Tom Motley of RKS Realty. "With the economy slumping, health care costs soaring, and the federal budget deficit climbing to new heights, Andy Harris is the right man at the right time."

"Small businesses are the foundation of the American economy." said Andy Harris M.D. "I am committed to lowering taxes and decreasing wasteful government spending to stimulate economic growth,"

At a time when rising energy prices are crippling small businesses in the first district, Andy Harris has developed a comprehensive energy plan that includes increasing domestic production of oil and natural gas, investing in the next generation of alternative energy technology such as wind, tidal, and bio-fuels, and encouraging more conservation.

Small businesses are forced to pay higher taxes as a result of O'Malley's tax increases. Now, liberals in Congress want to eliminate the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts that have created millions of new jobs. "I staunchly opposed O'Malley's tax hikes in Maryland. In Congress, I will vote against every Pelosi tax hike," said Dr. Harris.

One of the most pressing issues facing small businesses is the rising cost of healthcare. As a physician for over 25 years at Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Andy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience on how to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for all Marylanders.
