Android :: SQLite Query Throwing Exception

Im trying to get an object form my SQLite database in my Android application. I know that the contact is in the database because when I add it and try finding by ID, it returns the object. When I try finding by first and last name, though, it throws an exception and Im left with a null reference.

Here is the query:

CODE:..........

Ive also tried to find just by first name and just by last name. Same result as above.

The exception is an SQLite exception

no such column: aurelius: , while compiling: SELECT _id, last_name, first_name,
email_address, organization_name, label, label_position FROM contacts WHERE
first_name=marcus AND last_name=aurelius

And also happens when trying to select just first or last name

no such column: marcus: , while compiling: SELECT _id, last_name, first_name,
email_address, organization_name, label, label_position FROM contacts WHERE
first_name=marcus
