Kratovil Touts Independence with Democrat Support

SEVERNA PARK, Md. – Congressman Frank Kratovil is on the stump touting his independence from Congressional Democrats while the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) throws $1.1 million into his reelection bid.

After a September 4^th New York Times article calling out Democrats for performing political triage on Frank Kratovil, House Democrats started pouring money into Maryland – the birthplace of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and home of Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer and DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen.

“Congressional Democrats must be in serious trouble if they are putting millions into a race where their candidate runs away from Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Party,” said Bill Lattanzi, Campaign Manager – Andy Harris for Congress. “It is interesting how Frank Kratovil can claim independence at every campaign stop and still allow Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and the DCCC to do his dirty bidding.”

A recent poll conducted by Monmouth University has Harris up 53 percent to 42 percent, even after the DCCC has put $1,118,981.78 into Maryland's First District  on behalf of Frank Kratovil.
