Heather Mizeur, a former state delegate and 2014 gubernatorial candidate, defeated former Foreign Service officer Dave Harden in the Democratic primary Tuesday for the right to run this fall against Rep. Andy Harris, Maryland’s sole Republican member of Congress.
Harris, 65, unopposed Tuesday, is seeking a seventh term in the 1st Congressional District, which includes Harford County and the Eastern Shore. It’s the most heavily Republican district in the state, and Harris has routinely topped 60% of the vote in his reelection campaigns.
Mizeur, 49, and Harden, 59, who spent years overseas with the U.S. Agency for International Development, each labeled Harris a “traitor” last week after the U.S. House’s Jan. 6 committee said Harris met with former President Donald Trump and others at the White House in December 2020 and discussed a plan to block Democrat Joe Biden’s victory by derailing presidential election results approved by the states.
Harris, a longtime Trump supporter, joined GOP colleagues on Jan. 6, 2021, in arguing on behalf of Trump’s unfounded contention that some election results must be dismissed because of fraud or other irregularities. No evidence of fraud was presented.
