Two Democrats have announced challenges to Rep. Andy Harris.
The 1st District Republican, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has drawn controversy and calls for his resignation after endorsing challenges to the electoral count that certified President Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election.
Former state Del. Heather Mizeur, in a kickoff video, called Harris' actions "an unforgivable betrayal" that continued well after the Capitol riot.
“That very night, as our stunned nation began its healing process, Andy Harris got into a war of words on the House floor, attempting to pick a fistfight with a colleague with differing views. Then, one week ago today, Harris was caught trying to carry a gun onto the floor of the U.S. Capitol," Mizeur said. "These behaviors have stirred within me a conviction that we must present an alternative choice. We deserve representation that reflects the very best qualities of who we are and where we are from. That is why, today, I am launching my campaign for Congress.”
