Issues

National security
American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
Harris said on September 3, 2013, that he did not support U.S. military intervention in Syria.[148]
"The decision to engage militarily is one of the most serious a member of Congress can make, and, although at this point I would not vote for military intervention, I plan to examine all of the evidence before making a decision," Harris said in a statement.[148] "I appreciate President Obama fulfilling his constitutional obligation by seeking congressional authorization before using military force in Syria," Harris said. "There are serious questions about whether taking military action against Syria is in our national security interest and how the United States should respond to nations around the world who use chemical weapons against their own citizens."[148]
Noteworthy events
Electoral vote certification on January 6-7, 2021
Congress convened a joint session on January 6-7, 2021, to count electoral votes by state and confirm the results of the 2020 presidential election. Harris voted against certifying the electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania. The House rejected both objections by a vote of 121-303 for Arizona and 138-282 for Pennsylvania.
Movie screening prevented on campus
In April 2009, Harris prevented the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) from holding an on-campus screening of the film Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge, which some called pornographic.[149] The original version had a self-applied X-rating, but the film was later edited to qualify for an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association of America.[150] As part of the showing in the student union, UMCP organizers planned to have a safe sex discussion with a representative from Planned Parenthood.[149] Administration officials canceled the film after Harris threatened to cut the university's budget.
“ | We can't be spending taxpayers' dollars for the screening of pornographic materials on campuses. That's not good policy.[151] | ” |
—Andrew Harris[152] |
The board of regents refused Harris' request for the university to adopt a policy on obscene material.[153] Lawmakers gave the university a December 1 deadline to come up with policies on showing obscene materials, but student representatives on the board voted down an adoption of such a policy.[154]
“ | The establishment of any policy would effectively say it is acceptable for state politicians to dictate that the university system fall in line with their political agendas. This is irresponsible and puts the system's 143,000 students at a severe disadvantage compared to their peer institutions.[151] | ” |
—Steve Glickman and Sarah Elfreth[155] |
Two-year-old saved on highway
Harris, a medical doctor, was credited with helping to save the life of a two-year-old along the side of highway Route 50 on August 26, 2012.[156]

Personal Gain Index

- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Harris' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $976,052 and $3,665,999. That averages to $2,321,025.50, which was lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Harris ranked as the 135th most wealthy representative in 2012.[169] Between 2009 and 2012, Harris' calculated net worth[170] decreased by an average of 3 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[171]
Andy Harris Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2009 | $2,590,401 |
2012 | $2,321,025 |
Growth from 2009 to 2012: | −10% |
Average annual growth: | −3%[172] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[173] |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Harris received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.
From 2007-2014, 38.97 percent of Harris' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[174]
