"Harry Dunn: From Defending the Capitol to Running for Congress"

Harry Dunn, a former US Capitol Police officer who defended the Capitol during the January 6 riot, has announced his candidacy for Congress in Maryland's 3rd Congressional district. Dunn, who recently received the Presidential Citizens Medal from President Biden, is running with the aim of combating former President Donald Trump's MAGA movement and preventing a repeat of the events of January 6. He faces a competitive Democratic primary with several other candidates vying for the seat of retiring Rep. John Sarbanes. Dunn has been vocal about the racism he encountered during the riot and in its aftermath.
