3 years ago as a Capitol Police officer, I defended the U.S. Capitol from insurrectionists. Today, I’m running to be the next Democrat to represent Maryland's 3rd District.
On January 6th, I fought on the frontlines to stop Donald Trump and his MAGA mob from overturning a free and fair election. I witnessed my fellow officers be beaten bloody and attacked by people with hate in their heart.
I defended members of Congress who invited the violence into the Capitol. I returned to work, despite the trauma, and watched horrified as those same members refused to take action or even denounce the violence.
That day showed me just how fragile and precious our democracy is.
We need fighters in Congress who are willing to show up to hold far-right extremists accountable.
I’m running because I’m passionate about this and I’m not going to sit back and wait for someone else to do it. But Trump and his rabid supporters will stop at NOTHING
to stop me from winning this open seat.
