Updated (5:34 p.m.)—A Cockeysville Democrat who was forced to end her bid to unseat Rep. Andy Harris after it was learned she voted illegally in Maryland explained her actions on the same day she pleaded guilty in Baltimore County Circuit Court.

Rosen explained the reasons behind her votes in a statement emailed Friday after she pleaded guilty to two counts of voting illegally in Maryland. "What I did wasn’t right, it wasn’t smart, but it was one [act] of civil disobedience, not …

The Perry Hall Improvement Association is featuring guest speaker Congressman Andy Harris Thursday night.
7:35 p.m. Rep. Andy Harris said he has represented Perry Hall for the past 10 years, first as a state representative, the last two years as a congressman. Harris spoke about "sequestration" related to the defense cuts that could impact Aberdeen Proving Ground. He said that 10 percent cuts to defense is bad business and that it should be done "surgically." He said that as of Jan. 1, that cut will go through.

U.S. Rep. Andy Harris said he would actively campaign for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney if requested.
U.S. Rep. Andy Harris delivered a passionate critique on federal spending during a town hall meeting in Perry Hall on Wednesday afternoon—but when asked about upcoming congressional and presidential elections, he appeared more than a little disinterested. "We're six months out. People don't want to pay attention to that until after Labor Day. Right now, we're taking care of the district. There will be plenty of time for the election in the fall," he said. According to his campaign website, his most recent campaign appearance included marching in the Kent Island Days Parade with the Queen Anne's County Republicans on May 19. But, otherwise, his campaign events have been sparse compared to the spring before his last election. Harris …
