Ex-Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn Announces Congressional Run

Dunn, a key figure in the Jan. 6 riot response, pledges to combat Trump's MAGA movement and bring accountability to the former president.

Former US Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn has announced his campaign run for Congress in Maryland's 3rd Congressional district.
Dunn, who fought off rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, and testified about his experience before the House Jan. 6 select committee, pledges to work against former President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement.
Dunn has spoken openly about the racial slurs that were hurled at him during the riot, as well as the racist online abuse that he faced on social media and through email after he spoke before the Jan. 6 committee.
Dunn resigned from the Capitol Police Department recently, stating that his potential election to Congress would allow him to bring accountability to Trump.
Dunn is among a crowded field of Democratic hopefuls running for Representative John Sarbanes' seat, who announced his retirement last year.
