In the aftermath of the January 6th insurrection, Harry Dunn, a Capitol Police officer who testified about the events of that day, has emerged as a public figure. He has written a bestselling memoir, received the Congressional Gold Medal and Presidential Citizens Medal, and is now running for Congress.
Dunn’s journey from Capitol Police officer to congressional candidate has been a remarkable one. He joined the Capitol Police in 2008, and was on duty on January 6th, 2021, when a mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. Dunn was one of the officers who helped to protect members of Congress and staff, and he was later awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for his bravery.
In the aftermath of the insurrection, Dunn became a vocal advocate for protecting democracy. He testified before the January 6th Committee, and has spoken out against the threats to democracy posed by Donald Trump and his supporters.
Dunn’s decision to run for Congress was motivated by his desire to continue to fight for democracy. He is running on a platform that includes protecting voting rights, women’s reproductive rights, and affordable health care and housing.
Dunn’s campaign has been met with both support and criticism. He has raised a significant amount of money, and has received endorsements from prominent Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. However, he has also faced criticism from some old colleagues who have accused him of being a self-serving show horse.
Despite the criticism, Dunn remains committed to his campaign. He believes that it is important to fight for democracy, and he is confident that he can win.
The race for Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District is expected to be a close one. Dunn is one of 22 Democrats running for the seat, and he will face a tough challenge in the primary. However, Dunn is a formidable candidate, and he has a strong chance of winning the election.
If Dunn is elected to Congress, he will be the second Capitol Police officer ever elected to the House of Representatives. He will be a strong advocate for democracy, and he will work to protect the rights of all Americans.
