Rep. Andy Harris, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland’s 1st District since 2011, recently shared his views on voting rights and government-funded nutrition programs via social media. Harris, who succeeded Frank Kratovil in Congress, is known for his strong opinions on various policy issues.
On March 26, 2025, Rep. Andy Harris stated his firm stance regarding voter eligibility in American elections. He tweeted: “Only American citizens should vote in American elections. Period.”
Later that day, he addressed concerns about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and its funding allocation towards sugary drinks. In his tweet posted at 11:20 AM UTC, Harris claimed: “Sugary drinks are not only allowed on SNAP – but they are also the #1 item purchased…This amounts to a direct government transfer of more than $10 billion dollars to fund what is making Americans unhealthy.”
At 13:35 UTC on the same day, Rep. Harris posted another tweet which included a link without additional commentary: “https://t.co/qz7JagL7al” The content or context of this linked material was not detailed within the post itself.
