Hey folks, Harry Dunn here.

This is a tough email to start – how do you talk about one of the darkest days of your life? Not to mention, an irreparable stain on this country's history.

So I guess I'll start with a question. Is this America?

Is attacking Capitol police officers – honest, good people dedicated to protecting and serving democracy – with baseball bats and spears, spraying them with WD-40, calling them hateful slurs – is that America?

Is a President of the United States emboldening a riot on the Capitol, encouraging people threatening to kill former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Vice President Mike Pence, who traveled to Washington ready to act on those threats – is that America?

That's not American to me. I believe in an America that protects its people, regardless of their political beliefs. An America that values democracy and those that are chosen to represent it. That's what I believed in while I served as a Capitol police officer during the January 6 insurrection.

If that's the American you believe in, I'm hoping you'll chip in $10 or more to my campaign for US Congress. I protected this democracy as a Capitol police officer on January 6th and I'm ready to protect it as the next Congressman from MD-03. Please, rush a donation now:

Together,

Harry
