Rep. Andy Harris for US Congress, MD-1

The son of immigrants who fled communist Eastern Europe immediately after World War II, Dr. Andy Harris has made a lifetime commitment to serving his neighbors, country, and community. Whether it was as a physician at the prestigious Johns Hopkins Hospital (or currently at Memorial Hospital of Easton), as a veteran of the Naval Reserve, as a hard-working state Senator, or now as Congressman, Andy has always been committed to serving others. 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.

Beginning career & service…

Andy is the proud father of five children (Joe, Becky, Irene, Jessica and Daniel), grandfather of ten, and was husband to his late wife Cookie for 34 years. Born in working-class Brooklyn in 1957, Andy found his calling studying medicine at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where he lived in a one-room apartment and worked nights and weekends as a blood bank technician to help pay the tuition. Dr. Harris graduated near the top of his class and continued to practice medicine at Johns Hopkins for almost three decades. Dr. Harris has been voted by his peers to receive the esteemed “Top Doc” award from Baltimore Magazine numerous times. For the last few years Andy has also practiced at Memorial Hospital in Easton and Peninsula Regional Medical Center on the Eastern Shore.

Serving his country…

Filling a critical need for anesthesiologists in the Naval Reserve during the Reagan administration, Andy volunteered for the Medical Corps, and later established and commanded the Johns Hopkins Medical Naval Reserve Unit P0605C. In 1990, his unit was recalled to assist with Operation Desert Shield (and later Operation Desert Storm), during which they took care of active duty personnel, veterans, and returning POWs at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Harris reached the rank of Commander (O-5). He served for over 16 years.

Serving his community…

Unhappy with the status-quo in Annapolis, Harris decided to take on the establishment and run for the Maryland State Senate in 1998. After being elected Andy continued to serve as a physician – epitomizing our Founding Fathers’ belief in a part-time, citizen legislature. 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.

Serving the 1st Congressional District in DC…

Andy started his 6th term in January 2021 as the Congressman from the beautiful 1st Congressional District of Maryland. He serves on the Appropriations Committee. He also serves on two sub-committees: Agriculture and the Labor, HHS and Education.

Serving his family…

Remarried in 2017, Andy continues to commute to DC from the District allowing him time with his wife Nicole, children (including his step-son David), and grandchildren. More important, the daily return home to the District enables him to be actively connected to the community and the issues facing the families and businesses of the district. He enjoys spending time at home in Dorchester County, on the Bay with his family, gardening, and fixing up cars with his sons & step-son. He’s known for being thrifty, repairing things whenever possible, and recycling everything eligible to be recycled.

Yuripzy Morgan for Congress, MD-3

Yuripzy Morgan’s interest in government began with her family. Her mother fled the civil war in El Salvador, and her father is from Mexico. She was born and raised in East Texas several years after they met. They did not have much, but they did have a strong belief that anything was possible in America. It was a belief that her parents instilled in her and her four siblings.

Yuripzy attended the University of Texas at Arlington where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in Biology, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. She later moved to Maryland and graduated from the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. She practiced law in the Baltimore region before joining WBAL Newsradio, where she hosted her own daily political talk radio show for several years.

She became increasingly aware, through law and radio of how frustrated people were with government. Most people simply wanted their government to work for them, and needed an advocate. While on the radio, she continued to focus on informing the public of how government is supposed to work, and her personal interest in constitutional law.

Yuripzy married her husband in 2013. He served as a Captain in the US Army infantry, leading soldiers in combat operations for a year and a half in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. His experience further influenced her interest in national security and protecting our military and veterans. They were blessed with two little girls, Elena and Chloe, who keep their parent’s schedules busy and their hearts full.

Yuripzy knows that the opportunities in America are endless but they can be stifled by politics and bureaucracy. She grew up in a generation that still believed in the American Dream. Today, there are too many career politicians more interested in collecting a paycheck than making that dream a reality for all Americans. Yuripzy still believes in America, and she is determined to remind those in Washington that America is worth fighting for.
