Across the nation, with 435 seats in the House of Representatives up for election on Nov. 8, it’s hard to imagine a voter choice more stark than the one between Andy Harris and Heather Mizeur in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District.
Harris is the incumbent Republican (and anesthesiologist) running for a seventh term he once promised not to seek. Mizeur is the Democratic former state delegate (now herb farmer) challenging him in the heavily red district.
The state’s lone Republican in Congress, Harris is stridently conservative, a Trump adherent way out on the right. He’s a fan of the Hungarian authoritarian, Viktor Orban.
Mizeur is liberal with a touch of common-sense moderation that stems from her farming-family roots and supports her heart-smart — some would call it “touchy feely” — approach to public policy. She’s no fans of dictators.
