Hey there,
I'll be straight with you, I've done a lot of tough things in my life. I played college football, tried to make it in the NFL and CFL. That was tough, mentally, physically, emotionally.
I served as a Capitol police officer for over 15 years, those were tough some days.
But the aftermath of the January 6 insurrection was one of the toughest things I've been through. My pain, my trauma, it didn't end on January 7.
Even after the violence of that day, I dealt with death threats. I dealt with people harassing me for speaking out. And when I decided to testify in front of Congress? It was one of the toughest things I've ever faced.
But I did testify, because it was my duty not just as an officer, but as an American. I made a big step the day I testified for the January 6 committee. I stepped in the direction of protecting our democracy.
And I've never looked back.
I'm ready to protect our democracy as a Congressman, and I need you to join me. I wouldn’t ask if this fight wasn’t absolutely critical – will you split a donation between Democracy Defense Action and my campaign? It's going to be tough, but like I said, I'm no stranger to tough.
With love,
Harry 🖤
