		<description><![CDATA[By Lou Peck Contributing Editor, Cecil Times/CongressDaily As the hotly contested rematch between Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil and Republican challenger Andy Harris enters the homestretch, total spending by candidates and outside groups has passed the $7.5 million mark and is still climbing– guaranteeing it will be among the most expensive congressional contests in Maryland history. Through the middle of October – with nearly three weeks to go until Election Day &#8212; the Kratovil campaign had spent just over $2.2 million in operating expenses, according to new reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. The Harris campaign expenses came to about $1.8 million, for a total of $4 million spent so far by the two campaign committees. But direct spending by the Kratovil and Harris committees tells just part of the story. As of this weekend, with Nov. 2 still 10 days away, so-called independent expenditures by outside groups had hit $3.3 million in Maryland’s 1st District, according to the non-partisan Sunlight Foundation. A substantial amount of this money has gone for “attack ads” being aired constantly on Baltimore TV stations. The Sunlight Foundation compilation does not include spending by a group called the Commission on Hope, Growth and Opportunity – [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Lou Peck Contributing Editor, Cecil Times/CongressDaily The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has informed the Federal Election Commission that it has spent another $300,000 on advertising against Republican Andy Harris, the GOP challenger to Democratic incumbent Frank Kratovil in Maryland’s 1st District. With that latest expenditure, the DCCC has put in more than $1.1 million to boost Kratovil’s re-election bid. According to FEC figures compiled by the non-partisan Sunlight Foundation, Maryland’s 1st District congressional race is now one of just 11 districts nationwide in which the DCCC has invested in excess of $1 million in this year’s campaign. By comparison, the DCCC’s counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee, has reported spending just over $470,000 so far on efforts to help Harris by taking out ads attacking Kratovil. The 1st District covers the entire Eastern Shore and parts of Harford, Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties, and most political advertising aimed at the district is being aired on Baltimore TV stations. Over-the-air buys in Salisbury on the lower Shore are also coming into play, along with local cable TV systems. While there are a couple of fellow Marylanders high up in his party leadership – House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-5) and [&#8230;]]]></description>
