Rep. Andy Harris, MD, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Maryland’s 1st district since 2011, recently expressed several opinions on social media regarding government spending and educational policies. Harris, who has a longstanding political career, previously served in the Maryland Senate and House of Representatives and is noted for his stance on fiscal conservatism.

On May 2, 2025, Harris articulated his concerns about educational spending, stating "Taxpayers dollars should not be used to fund radical gender ideologies in the classroom. Period." This statement underscores his opposition to what he describes as the use of public funds for promoting specific gender ideologies within educational institutions.

Reflecting on federal financial strategies, Harris, on the same day, shared an image via a post without additional commentary. The linked content remains unspecified based on the text available.

Later that day, Harris commented on fiscal reforms proposed in the presidential budget. He expressed approval, saying "The President’s budget is a paradigm shift in eliminating the woke and weaponized spending in our federal government while also strengthening our defense and border security operations." This tweet highlights Harris's support for reallocating federal resources away from initiatives he considers ideologically driven, while focusing on traditional security measures.

Andy Harris, born in New York City in 1957 and currently residing in Cambridge, has a background in medicine with a degree from Johns Hopkins University. Over the years, he has been a vocal advocate for conservative principles in fiscal policies and educational matters.
