Rep. Andy Harris, a U.S. Congressman representing Maryland’s 1st district since 2011, recently shared his views on several pressing issues through social media posts. With a background in medicine and extensive political experience, Harris has consistently engaged with topics that impact both his constituents and the nation.

On February 1, 2025, Rep. Harris addressed concerns about energy costs in Maryland. He emphasized the need for local leaders to communicate with residents regarding their frustrations over high energy bills. According to Harris, these challenges stem from decisions made by the Maryland General Assembly mandating “expensive, undependable sources of energy.” “Leaders in Maryland should talk to their constituents.”

Later that day, Harris turned his attention to the national issue of fentanyl-related deaths among adults aged 18-45. Citing statistics indicating that more than 200 Americans die daily from fentanyl overdoses, he highlighted former President Trump’s efforts to combat this crisis. “Fentanyl is the #1 cause of death for 18-45-year-olds nationally.”

In another post dated February 2, 2025, Rep. Harris shared a link without additional commentary or context: “https://t.co/uGaRjST1D6”.
