Mizeur Threatens to Run Against Harris

By Adam Pagnucco.

Former District 20 Delegate Heather Mizeur, who once represented Silver Spring and Takoma Park but now lives on the Eastern Shore, has told District 1 Congressman Andy Harris to resign or face a possible challenge. Mizeur wrote on Twitter, “You must resign immediately – or I will consider retiring you myself in 2022.”

Mizeur is a strong progressive who finished third in the 2014 Democratic gubernatorial primary. Harris’s district was gerrymandered to elect a Republican a decade ago but its boundaries could change in the coming redistricting. Harris made news by objecting to President-Elect Joe Biden’s electoral votes in Congress and nearly starting a brawl on the House floor.

Mizeur’s tweet appears below.
