Harris attended Regis High School in Manhattan and earned a BS in biology in 1977 and an MD in 1980 from Johns Hopkins University, whose School of Hygiene and Public Health awarded him an MHS in 1995.
He served in the Navy Medical Corps and the U.S. Naval Reserve, including active duty as a commander during Operation Desert Storm, and commanded the Johns Hopkins Naval Reserve Medical Unit from 1989 to 1992.
At Johns Hopkins Hospital he worked as an anesthesiologist, an associate professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine, and chief of obstetric anesthesiology.
Andy Harris won a seat in the Maryland Senate in 1998 after defeating Minority Leader F. Vernon Boozer in the Republican primary, served as minority whip from 2003 to 2006, and remained in the chamber until his election to Congress in 2010.
In 2008 he defeated incumbent Republican Wayne Gilchrest in the primary for Maryland's 1st congressional district and lost the general election to Democrat Frank Kratovil.
Harris won a rematch against Kratovil in 2010 by 14% and has been re-elected in every election since, taking 59.41% of the vote in 2024 against Democrat Blaine Miller III.
Since 2013, Harris has been the only Republican in Maryland's congressional delegation, and in 2024 he became chair of the House Freedom Caucus. In the 118th Congress he served on the Committee on Appropriations, where he chaired the Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies.

During an October 2026 debate with Schwartz, Harris was interrupted by members of the audience, and at a news conference afterward he confronted a student journalist with the Capital News Service.
