Hey, it's Harry Dunn. I want to share some personal news with you.

Today, I'm launching my campaign for Congress to represent Maryland's 5th District.

In just a moment, I'm going to personally ask you to chip in. MAGA billionaires are going to rush to buy this seat and maintain House Control – but their deep pockets are no match for the grassroots power we're going to build. I'm counting on you to be a Day One Donor and help win this seat for the people of Maryland and hand Donald Trump an embarrassing loss by winning back Democratic House control. Can I count on you to split a donation between me and Democracy Defense Action to become a Founding Donor to my campaign today? Let me explain:

As a Capitol Police Officer and as an American, January 6th, 2021, was the darkest day of my life. I was immersed for what felt like countless hours in a profane mix of sweat, screams, shrieks, anger, death, fear, blood, broken limbs, spit, hatred, horror, racism, and bigotry.

The wounds that my heroic fellow officers endured are still healing. But my commitment to ensuring the strength of our democracy has only deepened.

It's the reason I've decided to run for Congress for Maryland's 5th District.

I made this choice because I cannot sit idly by while our very right to survive is under attack by Donald Trump. I've fought against his angry mob before, and I'm ready to do it again.

So I'm asking you to make a choice, John:

– Either we sit back, let the bigots win, and allow dark money to buy this seat out from under us.

– Or we can step up and prove we won't surrender in the face of hate.

MAGA extremists will fight like hell to destroy our campaign. I need you with me in this fight. I'm humbly asking you to become a Founding Donor to my campaign. We set a $500,000 goal to kickstart this campaign and build our movement. So please: will you please chip in before midnight tonight to our campaign and Democracy Defense Action today?

Together,

Harry Dunn
