Rep. Andy Harris, MD, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Maryland’s 1st district, has expressed his views through a series of tweets. Harris, who replaced Frank Kratovil in 2011, has a background in the Maryland Senate and holds a degree from Johns Hopkins University.

In a tweet dated April 5, 2025, Harris indicated conditional support for the Senate budget resolution. He stated, "If the Senate can deliver real deficit reduction in line with or greater than the House goals, I can support the Senate budget resolution." However, Harris criticized the Senate's committee instructions of "$4 billion compared to the House’s $1.5-2 trillion," expressing his concerns over their adequacy.

On April 7, 2025, Harris announced an event in another tweet, stating, “I’ll be hosting another telephone town hall tonight”. The event was scheduled for "5:30 – 6:30 pm," and invited constituents to listen in via a provided phone number or stream live.

Later the same day, Harris shared another tweet acknowledging a development in national security, calling it “A great win for law, order, and safety in our country”. Details on the specific event or decision were not provided in the tweet.
