Andy Harris is a U.S. Congressman from Maryland who just led the charge to overturn the will of Washington D.C. voters by inserting language into Congress' spending bill that prevents the District from implementing the referendum they passed to legalize recreational marijuana in the 2014 midterm election. That referendum passed with 70% of the vote on Election Day. 
"This is just a little political protest that we have here, and we think in general this is a sentiment that is District-wide," said Brian Ward, the sales manager at Capital Hill Bikes, which banned the Congressman. "It's not even just about Initiative 71 but more generally speaking about how Congress likes to stick their noses in the District's affairs."
