On January 6th, I defended our democracy from insurrectionists as a Capitol Police Officer. After, President Biden honored me with the Presidential Citizens Medal.
Today, I’m running for Congress to stop Trump’s MAGA extremists & ensure it never happens again.

My first thought was, hasn’t he done enough for us? And my second was, good for him, we need more integrity in elected office.
I have a post scheduled for this afternoon for Pres. Biden’s speech (which has been moved, it was originally scheduled for tomorrow).
President Biden moved his speech on democracy, marking the anniversary of Jan. 6, up a day due to the incoming winter storm in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions this weekend. The president was set to travel to the Philadelphia area on Saturday to mark the third anniversary of the riots at the U.S. Capitol.

Dunn is running to succeed retiring Rep. John Sarbanes, a Democrat who represents Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District, located west of Baltimore. He left the Capitol Police force late last year, ending a 15-year career.
“On Jan. 6th, 2021, I did my duty as a police officer and as an American and defended our nation’s Capitol from violent insurrectionists,” Dunn said in a statement announcing his candidacy. “Today, I’m running for Congress because the forces that spurred that violent attack are still at work and as a patriotic American, it is my duty to defend our democracy.”
