Harry Dunn, a former Capitol Police officer who bravely defended against the Jan. 6 attack, now aims for Congress.
Dunn served on the Capitol Police force for 15 years before retiring in December 2023, drawing on his extensive experience.
An outspoken witness of the Capitol breach, Dunn confronted Trump supporters and testified about the violence before the House Jan. 6 Committee.
Dunn sheds light on racial epithets faced by black officers during the attack, emphasizing the need for justice and accountability.
Dunn authored a book about his experience and received the Presidential Citizens Medal from President Biden for his heroic actions.
Running as a Democrat in Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District, Dunn faces a competitive primary with 15 contenders.
Although currently residing outside the district, Dunn commits to moving if elected, as Maryland's residency is not mandatory for candidacy.
Campaign finance reports due by Jan. 31 will reveal early indicators of the candidates gaining traction in the race.
