His innovative thinking, devotion to efficient government and dedication to his constituents earned him the “Hero of the Taxpayer” award from the Maryland Taxpayers Association in 2008.Īndy began serving as the Congressman from the beautiful 1st Congressional District of Maryland in 2011. After winning by an impressive margin, Andy continued to serve as a physician – epitomizing our Founding Fathers’ belief in a part-time, citizen legislature. Unhappy with the status quo in Annapolis, Harris, a political neophyte, decided to take on the establishment and make a run for the Maryland State Senate in 1998. Recently, Andy still practices at Memorial Hospital in Easton, Maryland. For many years, his peers chose him to be named as one of the nation’s “Best Doctors” in his specialty. Obstetric anesthesiology was his subspecialty, and over those years has helped thousands of women through their labor and delivery. He found his calling studying medicine at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where he continued to practice as an anesthesiologist for over three decades. Born in working-class Brooklyn in 1957, Andy grew up one of four boys. Andy is a proud father of five children (Joe, Becky, Irene, Jessica and Danny), grandfather of four (Charles, Abigail, Arthur, and Andrew), and had been married to his late wife Cookie for over 33 years. He is dedicated to making sure every constituent in the 1st Congressional District receives the highest-quality assistance and is well-represented in the halls of Congress. Whether it was as a physician at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital, as a medical officer in the Naval Reserve, as a hard-working state senator, or now as congressman, Andy has made a life by serving others. Harris, M.D., has spent a lifetime serving his neighbors, country and community. Bio: The son of immigrants who fled communist Eastern Europe immediately after World War II, Andrew P. ![]()
