Personal Background

Andy Harris, born to Hungarian and Polish immigrants, holds a BS in biology and an MD from Johns Hopkins University, along with an MHS in health policy and management. He served in the Navy Medical Corps and commanded the Johns Hopkins Naval Reserve Medical Unit. Harris practiced medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital for nearly three decades, holding roles such as anesthesiologist and chief of obstetric anesthesiology. He was elected to the Maryland Senate in 1998 and later to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010.

Political Ideas

Andy Harris's political identity is marked by a staunchly conservative approach that often diverges from mainstream Republican policies. His legislative record reveals a calculated strategy to protect regional industrial interests, such as his support for the Keystone pipeline and increased fossil fuel production despite climate change skepticism. Harris's ideological rigidity is evident in his unwavering opposition to abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and expansive federal government initiatives. His rhetorical style is confrontational, as seen in his vocal support for President Trump's actions and his dismissal of accusations against the U.S. Postmaster General. Harris's medical background adds a unique dimension to his policy stances, particularly in his controversial prescription of ivermectin for COVID-19.
