I will also support a Democratic opponent to Andy Harris (my pathetic congressman, who just made front page national news for trying to sneak in a gun to the capitol, post insurrection). I understand Heather Mizeur has announced she is running against him. I don't know much about her yet so I haven't thrown any money her way-- and I don't have much to donate-- but I will do what I can to get Harris tossed out of congress.
The problem with Heather Mizeur is that she is a pretty progressive candidate in a state that is safely liberal, but not progressive. Progressive candidates do not do well except in places like Montgomery County (where she is from) which is very progressive. But the rest of the state is not progressive, just liberal close to moderate.
She's going to have an uphill battle much like any other Montgomery County progressive has had when looking for office outside of the county.
