Biography
Andrew Peter Harris (born January 25, 1957) is an American politician and physician serving as the U.S. representative for Maryland's 1st congressional district since 2011. The district includes the entire Eastern Shore, as well as several eastern exurbs of Baltimore County. He is a member of the Republican Party. Before entering politics, Harris worked as an anesthesiologist at Johns Hopkins University and commanded the Johns Hopkins Naval Reserve Medical Unit from 1989 to 1992. He was elected to the Maryland Senate in 1998 after defeating incumbent F. Vernon Boozer in the Republican primary, and served until his election to Congress in 2010, when he defeated incumbent Democrat Frank Kratovil in a rematch. Since 2013, Harris has been the only Republican in Maryland's congressional delegation. He became chair of the House Freedom Caucus in 2024.
