New candidate announces against Andy Harris
MARYLAND-
After Congressman Andy Harris brought a gun into the capitol, one musical artist and small business owner in his district became inspired to run against him.
Matt Talley, born and raised in the district, feels that Harris is beatable after the incident. Describing his difficult situation during the pandemic, he feels congress needs an on the ground, non establishment candidate to lead them.
Talley himself has been one paycheck away from going hungry during the pandemic. He advocates for legalized marijuana, medicare for all and strengthening representation to the Eastern shore- calling it “the forgotten” part of the district. He spoke with 47ABC giving his opinion on the Harris situation.
“I will say a lot of his politics are based on conspiracy theories, based on websites that no longer and exist like 4-chan and ones that do like Qanon- and I believe he was on Parler before it disappeared. Those are the same people who stormed our capitol those are the same highlights, the same attributes of those people. It is disconcerting that someone that professes all of those things were to enter the house floor with a loaded weapon.
