level" "Illegal Immigration is a serious concern and Andy has a strong

record against illegal immigration."

Council President

John Cannon: "I have two criteria when endorsing a candidate: where

they stand on the issues and character. Andy is right on the issues

and a man of great character." "With Andy, we will have a congressman

that can go and convince others that my problems are their concern."

"Andy is a fiscal conservative who will fight for fiscal policies on

the national level"

Councilwoman Gail

Bartkovich : "Andy Harris will represent Wicomico County and the

Eastern

Shore well in Congress."

Councilman Joe

Holloway: "His views and mine fall along the same lines." "Andy is

against gun-control."

put agriculture on a level playing field."

"I am humbled these elected officials from the Eastern Shore believe I

will best represent Shore values in Congress," said Andy Harris. "In

government spending, so our economy will produce high-paying jobs for

families across the first district."

Andy has been endorsed by former Governor Robert L. Ehrlich, six of

the eight state senators who represent parts of the district, ten
