Biography & Current Office
Background & current office
Andy Harris is a Republican representative from Maryland who has served in the U.S. House since January 2011. The House Historian records a medical career at Johns Hopkins, service in the U.S. Navy Reserve and twelve years in the Maryland Senate before his election to Congress.
Harris serves on the House Appropriations Committee and chairs the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Subcommittee. His official House biography also identifies him as chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, a role he assumed in 2024.
This editorial review keeps those institutional roles separate from Harris’s policy positions. Routine appropriations votes, caucus advocacy and public statements remain in the public-record layer unless a specific factual assertion receives a dedicated review.
Editorial research reviewed: August 20, 2026. Public-record fields continue to refresh independently from official chamber sources.

Recent Recorded Votes
Official recorded-vote record
TrumpsMouth keeps vote data in the public-record layer rather than treating a vote by itself as a factual controversy. Use the official chamber roll-call database to inspect current votes; claim-specific vote explanations are added only when a sourced allegation requires them.
Sponsored/Cosponsored & Curated Notable Legislation
Legislation & official congressional activity
No legislation has been promoted into the curated editorial layer for this member yet. That is intentional: TrumpsMouth does not manufacture a “notable bill” merely to fill a profile.
Use the official federal records below to review sponsored legislation, roll-call activity and current office statements. TrumpsMouth will add claim-specific vote explanations only when a particular vote or legislative action is actually part of a sourced claim.
