Obamacare is only 7% of Americans. Literally almost 100% of Americans need relief from their health care policy premiums, not just 7%. We need to have free market solutions that bring down the cost of health care for every American, not just the 7%.

Illegal vapes from China are flooding our country, including flavored products targeting children.

Worse, the profits bankroll the Chinese Communist Party and criminal cartels.

I worked to advance $200 million in the House-passed Agriculture-FDA funding bill to crack down on this illicit trade. 

I’m urging the Senate to join me in this effort so federal agencies have the resources to act.

I agree. Kratom and its derivatives are dangerous.

This poison is being falsely marketed as a supplement when, in reality, it’s a dangerous drug killing children and destroying the lives of so many families.

FDA and DEA need to act NOW.

[Chuck Grassley @ChuckGrassley]

All Kratom is deadly it should NOT be sold at gas stations/vape stores/ANYWHERE Admin needs 2 put out final 7OH rule NOW Kratom is killing our kids BEWARE of special interest snake oil

I joined Aberdeen Mayor Patrick McGrady at the Swan Meadows Water and Sewer Project for an update on the work planned for the community.

I secured $2 million in federal funding to move this project forward and address water and sewer infrastructure needs in Swan Meadows.

Great to see the progress firsthand and hear what comes next for the project.

[Rep. Andy Harris, MD @RepAndyHarrisMD]

Yesterday, I joined Delegate Ryan Nawrocki to break ground on the Middle River Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company’s new fire station.

This is exactly what I fought to deliver $9 million in federal funding for: a new station and ladder truck that will strengthen emergency response in Middle River for years to come.

Proud to deliver for the firefighters who serve Middle River every day.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment.

In 1976, Congressman Henry Hyde led the effort in Congress to stop federal taxpayer dollars from paying for abortions. For five decades, that protection has remained in place, making Hyde one of the most consequential pro-Life policies in our nation’s history.

Every unborn Life has inherent dignity and value.

Smaller towns like Easton don’t always have the resources of larger jurisdictions to fund major water infrastructure projects.

That’s why I secured and delivered $2.6 million in federal funding for Easton Utilities’ new drinking water well and pump house, bringing another source of clean drinking water to the community.

The Army Corps has awarded a $25.7 million contract to replenish Ocean City’s beach and reconstruct the berm following this weekend’s nor’easter.

I spoke directly with Colonel Pera about restoring the beach, and the work ahead is clear: get Ocean City’s beach restored and ready for next year’s season.

Great to be in Easton today to break ground on Easton Utilities’ new drinking water well and pump house.

Easton’s water system serves thousands of customers, as well as the new University of Maryland Shore Regional Medical Center.

I’m proud to have secured $2.625 million in federal funding for this project, adding another source of clean drinking water for Easton.

“In a rural district like mine, everyone’s affected by a rising fuel price.”

I spoke with OC Today-Dispatch about my bill to temporarily suspend the federal gas and diesel taxes through the end of the year and provide relief for families, farmers, and businesses across Maryland’s First District.

🚨 REMINDER 🚨
The House passed the SAVE AMERICA ACT SIX TIMES.

Yet, we're still waiting on the Senate to pass it.

What are they waiting for?

Step up and Fight for America.

[Rep. Andy Harris, MD @RepAndyHarrisMD]

This is sickening.

An illegal alien released into the country under the Biden Administration is now accused of raping a teenage girl while working as a rideshare driver in Maryland.

This is exactly why DHS and ICE are removing criminal illegal aliens from our communities.

No American, especially a child, should ever be put in this kind of danger.

Maryland gas prices are now averaging $4.22 a gallon.

Families need relief at the pump.

That’s why I introduced legislation to temporarily suspend the federal gas and diesel taxes through the end of the year.

Congress needs to get this done and let Marylanders keep more of their hard earned money.

Wishing everyone across Maryland’s First District observing Yom Kippur a meaningful day of prayer, reflection, and peace.
