"Jan. 6 Hero Officer Harry Dunn Launches Congressional Campaign in Maryland"

Former U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Harry Dunn, known for defending the Capitol during the January 6 riot, has announced his candidacy for Congress in Maryland's 3rd Congressional District. Dunn, who recently left the police force after over 15 years, is entering a crowded Democratic primary to succeed retiring Rep. John Sarbanes. His campaign focuses on combating what he calls "Trump's MAGA extremists" and protecting democracy, drawing on his experience and recognition, including receiving the Presidential Citizens Medal from President Biden. Dunn's announcement comes as the third anniversary of the Capitol attack is used as a political touchstone by both President Biden and former President Trump.
