Ehrlich to Dems and Independents: 'Andy Harris is a good man'

Former Gov. Bob Ehrlich (R-Baltimore) would like to have a conversation with his Democratic and independent friends about Republican Andy Harris.

"Andy Harris is an independent voice with sound fiscal ideas. A reformer we can trust. He'll make a great congressman," Ehrlich says in a new television ad launched this week by the Harris campaign.

Harris, a state Senator from Cockeysville, is currently competing against Democrat Frank Kratovil, the Queen Anne's County state's Attorney in a heated battle for the open 1st Congressional District seat.

Large DCCC cash advantage could assist Kratovil

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reported having more than $45 million in cash on hand at the end of April, according to reports filed yesterday with the Federal Election Commission, while the National Republican Congressional Committee reported about $6.7 million cash on hand.

That stark difference could be significant in Maryland's 1st congressional district, where state Sen. Andy Harris (R-Cockeysville) and State's Attorney Frank Kratovil (D-Stevensville) are expected to be in a competitive race.
