Supports lowering corporate tax rates, simplifying the tax code, and reducing government spending and regulation to spur private-sector growth. Opposes tax increases and advocates fiscal restraint, including cuts to federal spending and measures to limit deficits. Endorses policies such as eliminating certain tax deductions and implementing simpler/flat-tax ideas to promote economic growth.
Healthcare
Andy Harris opposes the Affordable Care Act and has supported Republican legislation to repeal or replace it, including voting for the American Health Care Act in 2017. He has backed returning Medicaid control to states and policy changes such as high-risk pools and work requirements rather than expanding federal entitlement programs. His public statements and votes emphasize reducing the federal role in health insurance and rolling back ACA provisions.

Immigration & Border
Supports aggressive border-enforcement measures including restarting construction of the border wall, tightening asylum and parole processes, ending catch-and-release, and expanding deportation/immigration-enforcement authority.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Andy Harris supports significant restrictions on abortion, including backing early limits such as a federal “heartbeat” ban and defending limits like a 15-week ban with exceptions for rape, incest, and maternal health; he has voted against Democratic bills to codify Roe v. Wade and to protect interstate access to abortion and contraception. He has been endorsed by pro-life groups.
Climate & Energy
Opposes the Green New Deal and seeks to roll back or eliminate federal green-energy subsidies while supporting market-driven approaches and fossil-fuel production. Has acted with House Republican groups to limit climate-related regulatory and spending measures and to prioritize energy policies framed around energy independence and reduced federal intervention.
Public Safety & Guns
Opposes many new gun-control measures and has voted against assault-weapons restrictions and expanded federal regulations; he has expressed skepticism about increased background checks and supported arming teachers. His public statements frame stronger gun laws as an ineffective or inappropriate response to violence.
