"Senator Nancy Jacobs Endorses Andy Harris for Congress"

Annapolis - Today State Senator Nancy Jacobs (R-34 Cecil and Harford Counties) endorsed Andy Harris in the Republican Primary in Maryland's first congressional district.

Senator Jacobs has served with Senator Harris in the Maryland State Senate since 1998. Since their arrival in the Senate, Senator Jacobs and Senator Harris have established a long record of the protecting the taxpayers in Maryland. Senator Jacobs is best known for her advocacy for children. She was the sponsor of "Jessica's Law", legislation that increased penalties on people who sexually prey on children. Senator Jacobs' hard work finally paid off this year when the General Assembly passed and the Governor signed "Jessica's Law" into law.

"I resolutely stand beside and endorse my colleague Andy Harris for Congress," Senator Jacobs said. "I have seen firsthand Andy's commitment to our mainstream Republican values and I know he will work hard for the voters of the first congressional district."

Senator Harris responded to her endorsement by saying, "It has been my honor to serve with Senator Jacobs in the Maryland State Senate. We share Republican values of smaller government, lower taxes, and less wasteful government spending. I am honored to have her endorsement."

Senator Jacobs joins a long list of elected officials and Republican activists who have endorsed Andy Harris' candidacy. Currently seven of the eight Republican State Senators who represent parts of the first congressional district have endorsed Andy Harris for Congress. "I believe Republican leaders understand my commitment to building the Republican Party in Maryland, which is why so many have endorsed my candidacy. It is time we have a Republican congressman who is proud of Republican values, not ashamed of them," Harris said.
