Hi, I’m Dan Schwartz. I’m running against Andy Harris, Maryland’s only Republican congressman. I’ve spent 14 years fighting for consumers. Now I’m fighting to lower costs, protect health care, and end corruption. We can flip this seat, but I need your help. Please share and chip in $1. Link in bio

WATCH: This is why Andy Harris is losing ground. He showed his true colors, and that debate led to a groundswell of small donors from all over the country helping fund our grassroots campaign. I'm Dan Schwartz, and I'm running to replace him.

Andy Harris had his meltdown. We got MOMENTUM. Since that night: $200,000 raised and thousands of new donors all across the country. Maryland's First Congressional District has never been this competitive in its history. 9 days left. Join us.

The math isn't mathing. Andy Harris plays Mr. Fiscal Conservative, but doesn't know adding $50 billion and then cutting $137 billion is a loss. His vote for the Big Ugly Bill did that. Watch till the end. He finds out from me the only labor and delivery unit in MD-01 closed.

I can't believe this has to be said, but a member of Congress who has held only two town halls in six years has gotta go. I commit to the great people of MD-01: when I get to Congress, I will hold monthly town halls across the district.

Andy Harris flew to Budapest to campaign for authoritarian Viktor Orbán, but he can’t find time to hold a town hall back home. That IS bizarre, Michael. Hungarian voters already sent Orbán packing. MD-01, we’re next! Thanks to the Michael Fanone show! #MD01 #AndyHarris #DanSchwartz #Maryland

A Republican commentator thought this race was locked up. Then he watched Andy Harris throw a full-on tantrum during and after debate.His words: “I don’t think that anymore.” This is now one of the most talked-about races in the country. So, thanks, Andy. And thanks to the Maryland Caucus podcast!

At our debate, Harris blamed high diesel prices on “Democrats’ environmental regulations.” The room laughed, and he threw a tantrum. Democrats, Republicans, and independents can all agree on this one: that answer was laughable. Even Republican commentator Clay Mitchell called it “just silly.”

“It is still my turn to talk.” -Rep. Andy Harris No, Congressman. It’s ours. Three years without an in-person town hall, and the moment he stood in front of voters at the debate, he threw an entitled tantrum. No kings in MD-01. Early voting starts 10/22. Election Day is 11/3.

My opponent Andy Harris hasn't held an in-person town hall in over 3 years. So I knew he’d be rusty. I just didn’t expect it against the audience and the local journalists on that level. He was so confidently wrong on Maryland law, same energy as blaming Democrats for gas prices.

Unhinged Republican Congressman Andy Harris, who screamed at a woman journalist for filming him at a press gaggle, was just demolished by his Democratic opponent. The race was originally “likely Republican” but is now officially WIDE OPEN after the outburst.

Andy Harris voted to cut $453 million from the Social Security Administration and called it efficiency. I call it longer wait times for people who need help. Millionaires and billionaires shouldn’t get to stop paying into Social Security in January while you keep paying every paycheck, all year.

Our campaign is continuing to get a lot of attention as Rep. Harris gives more interviews and MD-1 has been shifted from "safe-red" to "likely-red." It's the job of a candidate to get the word out as much as they can. Tune in tonight on NewsNation at 10PM EST.

Dr. Harris is an Obstetric Anesthesiologist, but he might just be a Spin Doctor. He falsely cited the recording law to intimidate a student reporter, then told Fox 45 he followed it and left. He stayed 3+ minutes to fight about it. I’ll take your questions anytime, and you can keep your camera.

Rep. Andy Harris went on Fox 45 to explain himself. He just couldn't bring himself to apologize, instead the "liberal media." I teach my kids to say sorry when they mess up. Apparently some Congressmen never learned. Now imagine calling his office to say he got something wrong. We can do better.

It was such an honor to be a part of the MD-01 League of Women Voters debate tonight, I thank everyone who came or watched remotely, and the LWV for hosting. If you weren't able to watch live, you can still go to the live streams and watch. It was not something you want to miss.

The message of the night was clear. Andy Harris is out of touch, out of practice talking to voters, and more interested in picking fights and spinning his story than offering real answers. Thanks for all your support, and feel free to let me know what you thought of the debate in the comments.

Andy Harris prioritizes Washington and donors over the Eastern Shore. Seniors, farmers and small business owners can’t get to him, and his votes drive up costs. We deserve a representative who shows up for US.

TOMORROW NIGHT! Andy Harris and I are answering YOUR questions. Chesapeake Grove Intergenerational Center, 6PM (Doors @ 5:30PM) Seating is first comefir/st served. Debate will be live streamed by WHCP Radio Chesapeake and QACTV Television on facebook and youtube (links in comments).

Questions are coming from the room and from comments of live streams. Andy Harris hasn't had an in-person town hall in years, and seems to prefer talking to donors at fundraisers to voters at public events, so this is probably your only chance to hear him speak this election.

6 days away! Next Tuesday, October 13, Andy Harris and I go head to head in Cambridge. Questions will come from folks in the room, and from the live stream. Chesapeake Grove Intergenerational Center 6:00 PM. Doors open at 5:30. Seating is limited and first come, first served, so come early!

I'm a dad of three. I want my kids, and yours, to have someone to talk to when they're struggling, teachers with the tools to teach, and textbooks held to high standards. Andy Harris's education record comes down to one word: no. Our kids deserve someone who says yes.

Yesterday was the first day of oyster season. One of our watermen didn't come home. People have harvested oysters here for generations. Wars have been fought over these beds. A small group of watermen still work these waters. To every one of them out there this season: thank you. Come home safe.

Voting to protect families should be easy for anyone in Congress. Andy Harris keeps saying no, even when almost no one else agrees with him. He seems happy to be one of the only members voting against you. It's time to vote for someone who says YES to keeping you safe. #Maryland #Midterms2026

Debate updates! On October 13 at 6 PM, you'll be able to hear from me and Andy Harris at the same time at the Chesapeake Grove Intergenerational Center. Seating is limited and first come, first served, so get there early! If you can't make it, you can still watch via live stream.

On October 13 at 6 PM, you'll be able to hear from both me and Andy Harris at the Chesapeake Grove Intergenerational Center, 108 Chesapeake Street, Cambridge, MD 21613. The League of Women Voters found a bigger venue, but Harris's team said no- seating will be limited. But it will be live streamed!

This week, MD-01 lost two beloved public servants: Denton Police Chief George Bacorn and Cambridge Police Captain Ronald 'Shane' Hinson, both longtime, dedicated public servants. Our hearts are with their families, their departments, and everyone who knew and loved them.

Americans have been struggling with high gas prices, and it's turned into a crisis because of Trump's war in Iran. Back in 2022, when federal gas tax relief was on the table, Rep. Harris called it "a stunt." Must hit different when it's your own party's fault. #GasPrices #GasTax #MD01

In 2019 Andy Harris voted NO on permanent benefits for 9/11 first responders and survivors. 25 years later, more of them have died from illness tied to that day than were killed in the attack itself. Never forget the heroes. Never forget the vote. #NeverForget #RememberTheSky #SchwartzForCongress

Twenty-five years ago on this day, ordinary people ran toward danger because people needed them. Today, we remember the people we lost. We remember the first responders who ran toward the danger, and all the ones still living with what that day cost them. #NeverForget #911NeverForget #WeRemember
