Rep. Harris’ Statement on President Trump’s First 100 Days in Office

April 28, 2017

WASHINGTON, DC: On April 28, Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01) released the following statement on President Trump's first 100 days in office:

"Reflecting on the last 100 days, I am proud of the accomplishments achieved by Congress and the White House in such a short time. We have enacted 28 pieces of legislation since President Trump's inauguration – more than any other administration since President Harry Truman. Using the Congressional Review Act, we've rolled back 13 harmful Obama-era regulations that expanded federal authority and stunted economic growth. One such regulation was the Waters of the United States rule – a prime example of federal government overreach that would have imposed costly burdens on Eastern Shore farmers. From decreasing illegal immigration, to restoring America's stature as a leader of the free world, to the appointment of Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch, the President is keeping his promises to the American People. In the next few months, I am confident that we will continue to strengthen our national defense as we seek to simplify the U.S. tax code, repair our nation's health care system, and create jobs for the millions of hardworking Americans left behind by the previous administration."
