Here’s the thing John, I never thought I would run for office. Growing up, I wanted to be just like my dad, who was an athlete and a U.S. Air Force Veteran. I played football and earned an athletic scholarship that sent me to college. (I was pretty good, but being 6-foot-7 sure didn’t hurt!) But wearing a football uniform taught me something special: it gave me purpose and made me feel a part of something bigger than myself. So when I put on my Capitol Police uniform for the first time over 15 years ago to protect our nation’s Capitol, it felt right. But I never thought I’d see the day that our democracy would be attacked by Donald Trump and an army of insurrectionists that HE directed to the Capitol. I couldn't have been any closer to the chaos of January 6. I put my life on the line during the violence and destruction that Trump encouraged. So trust and believe when I tell you: we cannot allow our democracy to be in the hands of these MAGA-extremists. I fought for our democracy and our Capitol once as Officer Dunn, and I'll do it again as Congressman Dunn. Please, can you chip in $10 or $25 to become a Founding Donor of my campaign? I seriously appreciate any help you can give today >> |
