Representative Andy Harris, currently serving Maryland’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, recently expressed his views on various national issues through a series of tweets. The tweets, shared over two days, address topics such as Medicaid funding, national prayer, and economic growth.
On May 1, 2025, Harris addressed concerns regarding Medicaid expenditures in the Republican plan. He asserted that, “as this graph shows: The Republican instructions don’t cut Medicaid—they increase it by 25%.” He added that this increase would occur despite eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse, which he notes the majority of Americans support.
Later on the same day, Harris highlighted the significance of the National Day Of Prayer, stating, “On this National Day Of Prayer, we recognize the power of prayer and come together to pray for our nation, our leaders, and each other.” This message aligns with the observance of the day.
On May 2, Harris commented on the U.S. job market, noting economic progress: “The U.S. added 177,000 jobs in April —smashing expectations for the second month in a row. This is great news.” The post suggests optimism regarding employment trends.
Andy Harris has been serving in Congress since 2011, following his tenure in the Maryland Senate. His background includes a degree from Johns Hopkins University, and he resides in Cambridge, Maryland.
