Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn jumps into Maryland House race: ‘Tell Donald Trump I’m coming back to the Capitol’

Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn is running for Congress in Maryland's 5th Congressional District.
Dunn rose to national prominence for his testimony in congressional hearings about defending the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, when a violent mob of supporters of Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building in an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
"I see the same aggression in ICE agents that I saw from Jan. 6 insurrectionists,” Dunn says in his announcement video released Wednesday, referring to Trump's immigration enforcement operation.
"So tell Donald Trump I'm coming back to the Capitol, this time with a vote, with oversight authority, with subpoena power, with the full constitutional authority granted to a member of the United States Congress," Dunn adds.
The former law enforcement officer enters a crowded Democratic primary in the deep-blue, Southern Maryland district. A dozen Democrats have already filed paperwork with the Maryland State Board of Elections, including Maryland state Del. Adrian Boafo, a former aide to the longtime House Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer, who currently holds the seat. Hoyer endorsed Boafo last month, shortly after announcing his plans to retire from the House at the end of his current term.
