Rep. Andy Harris, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland’s 1st district since 2011, has shared several statements on social media addressing current political issues. His comments provide insight into his views on recent events and decisions made by state officials.
On January 31, 2025, Rep. Harris addressed recent tragedies in a tweet, stating that such events occur under any administration and are “linked in no way, shape or form to the Trump administration.” He criticized what he described as “peddling these baseless attacks during a tragedy,” calling it “political and damaging.” “The bottom line is these tragedies occur in any administration.”
In another statement posted on February 1, 2025, Rep. Harris expressed concern over actions by the Maryland Governor and Attorney General that could potentially impact funding for rebuilding the Key Bridge. He urged them to reconsider maintaining Maryland as a sanctuary state, suggesting it might threaten essential infrastructure projects. “Actions by the Maryland Governor and Attorney General could threaten funds to rebuild the Key Bridge.”
