Harris, Kratovil show sharp differences in Salisbury debate

Republican Andy Harris and Democrat Frank Kratovil tangled fiercely over campaign funding, Iraq, energy, immigration and the environment Tuesday night in what may be the only real debate in the 1st Congressional District contest.

At Salisbury University’s Holloway Hall, they accused each other of misrepresenting the opponent’s record, taking campaign money from tainted special interests and being out of step with the district long represented by Wayne Gilchrest – whom Harris defeated in the GOP primary leading him to throw his weight behind Kratovil.
