Unfortunately for D.C. residents angry with Maryland Congressman Andy Harris, the Republican carried nearly 80 percent of the vote in the Republican primary last night.

Harris may represent the first district of Maryland, but his actions—specifically a budget rider to block marijuana decriminalization—have had a disproportionate effect on the District of Columbia.

“I am humbled, in this time of dissatisfaction with how Washington does its business, that Republican voters in the First Congressional District nominated me once again to be their conservative candidate in November,” he said, according to the Baltimore Sun. His campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

D.C. statehood and marijuana advocates were working to unseat Harris, in part by crashing a town hall, protesting his birthday celebration, and volunteering for one of his opponents, former Maryland House of Delegates member Michael Smigiel.

Out of four candidates, Smigiel came in second to Harris, with 10.8 percent of the vote to Harris’ 78.4 percent. “He whooped me bad,” says Smigiel. “We had the right message, but you need money to put it in the hands of the voters.”

Harris raised $734,970 and Smigiel raised $20,933 this election cycle, according to Open Secrets.

Now Harris will face D.C. lawyer Joe Werner, who beat former Salisbury Mayor Jim Ireton in a close race—51.8 percent to 48.2 percent. Harris got 77,112 total votes last night, more than Werner and Ireton combined.

Smigiel isn’t planning on endorsing Harris in the general election. “I’m not going to come out and support someone who I don’t believe stands up for the principles of conservatism or the Constitiution,” he says.

As for Smigiel’s message to the residents of the District? “I appreciate their support and I wish them the best of luck with dealing with others who are paternalistic in Congress.”

Last month Harris voted against naming a post office for poet and activist Maya Angelou “because she was a communist sympathizer.”
