		<description><![CDATA[Andy Harris, the incumbent Republican for Maryland’s First District US House seat, won a bitterly contested fight against Jesse Colvin, a Democrat and first-time political candidate, as the overwhelmingly Republican district held to its majority party roots amid signs of discontent and an erosion of Harris support in some key areas. The District, which covers all of the Eastern Shore, including Cecil County, and parts of three counties on the western side of the Chesapeake Bay, is the most heavily Republican in the state by voter registration but Colvin had pinned his hopes on independents and cross-over voters. But Harris carried the district with 60.5 percent of the vote, while Colvin received 37.6 percent. A Libertarian candidate, Jenica Martin, received 1.9 percent of the vote. In Cecil County, the county’s GOP majority held sway, with Harris winning 61 percent of the local vote to Colvin’s 36.7 percent. Martin received 2.3 percent. But another GOP majority county, Talbot, switched course in the election, giving a 50.7 percent majority to Colvin and 47.8 percent to Harris. Easton was a hotbed of pro-Colvin support and activism, as well as the site of the only live, public debate between the two candidates during the [&#8230;]]]></description>

Andy Harris (R-1) had his staff-provided white rubber boots to guard against the flailing catfish that waterman Jimmy Kline harvests every day from an ingenius system of traps. “I got 1,500 pounds of catfish this morning,” Kline told the congressman, who is on a whirlwind tour of his mostly Eastern Shore district while Congress is in its summer recess. Harris has been going on a lot of boats lately in his largely water-based district, working crab trotlines with his son earlier in the week on the lower Shore, as he talks to watermen about the problems they face. Harris is a member of the House Natural Resources Committee, which oversees water and fishery issues. Kline told a fascinating story of a waterman’s ingenuity, telling Harris how he harvests live catfish every day and delivers them to ‘buyers’ who in turn place the live fish in oxygenated tanks for re-sale to markets and to state agencies looking to re-populate streams and rivers with live catfish. And, in an intriguing measure of entrepeneurship, Kline said he drives his own refrigerated truck up to the Mott [&#8230;]]]></description>
