Fmr. Capitol Hill Police Officer Harry Dunn Announces He’s Running for U.S. Congress in Maryland

EXCERPT:

DUNN: “Yeah. You know, so, it’s so interesting, like, this whole process that — where January 6th has taken this country and has taken me personally, and one of the things that I’ve always said and tried to live by is a saying that says, until there’s nothing that can be done, there’s always something that can be done, and I feel like I have run my race with the Capitol Police in the last 15-plus years of public service in that capacity. So here, right now, I’m here to announce my candidacy for Congress in Maryland’s Third District, and, you know, I just want to continue — what better way to continue fighting for the people of Maryland, for the people of the United States, and to continue to defend democracy? Because I think on January 6th, it exposed, one, how weak and fragile that it is, and I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say — it may sound scary, but we are one election away from the extinction of democracy as we know it. I mean, Donald Trump said it himself that he is ready to be a dictator, and, you know, a lot of his supporters will sit there and say, ‘Oh, he’s just joking,’ but how many times has he said the things that we thought were jokes, that he actually did and took them seriously? So right now, I’m here to announce my candidacy to fight back and be able to push back against the people in Congress right now that I spent the last 15 years of my life protecting, and I want to serve as their equal, as their colleague. I want a voice at the table and I’m ready for that challenge. So you can find out more information about that at harrydunnforcongress.com.”
