Andy Harris released his first TV commercial of the election yesterday to his
supporters via email.
"The commercial tells the story of my parents' pursuit of the American Dream,"
said Andy Harris. "They came to America from Eastern Europe to escape Communism
and raise a family. I've carried on that Dream; I became a doctor, served in the
Naval Reserves and raised a family.
Now, I feel the American Dream is slipping away. Washington's out-of-control
spending and taxation are making the Dream harder to achieve for future
generations. The job-killing policies of Nancy Pelosi and Congressional
Democrats - like the so-called economic Stimulus, the Health Care takeover, and
the Cap and Trade Energy Tax - do nothing but place the debt of today onto the
children of tomorrow. We need to get America back on track so our children can
have the same opportunities we've been afforded."
The 30 second ad will air next week in the Salisbury and Baltimore markets.
You can watch the video here.
Andy Harris is a Republican candidate running for Maryland's 1st Congressional
District. Harris, a practicing physician, and his wife Cookie have five
children. For more information, please visit www.andyharris.com.

ANDY HARRIS: "My family's lived the American Dream. But we're all worried our
