Harris gets nod from conservative Republican leader in House
Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, the third-ranking Republican in the House leadership, is lending his voice to Andy Harris' campaign for Congress.
Pence chairs the House Republican Conference and is regarded as one of the leading conservatives in Congress. He will take questions from reporters Wednesday on a conference call with Harris, a veteran state lawmaker from the Baltimore suburbs.
Harris is being challenged by political newcomer Rob Fisher in the September 14 Republican primary in Maryland's First District, which covers the entire Eastern Shore and portions of Baltimore, Harford and Anne Arundel counties.
The winner will face freshman Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil in November. Congressional handicappers give Republicans an excellent chance of picking up the seat, which had been held by a Republican, centrist Wayne Gilchrest, for almost two decades.

Pence is a traitor to the American worker.
He is an open borders guy and will NOT support strong immigration enforcement.
Harris proved he is all talk and no action on immigration as well.
