State of the Union: America Is Stronger, No Thanks to Andy Harris

President Biden’s first State of the Union Address highlights the economic progress Harris tried to block for Marylanders

Tonight, President Biden made clear in his first State of the Union Address that historic efforts Andy Harris voted against, like Democrats’ American Rescue Plan, led to an economic recovery that has uplifted Maryland’s workers, families, and small businesses.

While Harris and reckless Republicans built a record of voting against the middle class and opposing the efforts that have helped us move past the crisis phase of COVID, Democrats have remained focused on delivering the results voters want to see: record job growth, higher wages, kids back in schools, and real plans to lower costs.

If Harris and Republicans were in charge, Marylanders would’ve lost out on these historic accomplishments that rebooted our economy, created jobs, and crushed COVID, and would likely be sicker, poorer, and worse off than they are today as a result.

Even now as Democrats move forward with their latest plans to lower costs that are hurting working Americans, Harris’ fellow Republicans in Congress are promoting an agenda that threatens to tax seniors’ Social Security benefits and make working families pay hundreds of dollars more in taxes, with no plan to fight inflation.

DCCC Spokesperson Abel Iraola
“President Biden outlined tonight just why it’s so important for Marylanders to vote Andy Harris out of Congress this November. Harris has consistently stood in the way of Marylander’s economic progress and it’s clear he wouldn’t hesitate to join his party bosses to destroy it all if Republicans take charge.”
