Former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Endorsed by Organization
Supporting Veterans and Members of Military Families
ELLICOTT CITY, MD — Harry Dunn, former U.S. Capitol Police Officer and defender of democracy on January 6th, 2021 is being endorsed by Taking the Hill PAC. This coalition was founded by former Congressman and 32nd Under Secretary of the Army Patrick Murphy to support veterans and their family members seeking office.
“We are proud to endorse Officer Harry Dunn for Congress in Maryland’s Third District. Harry’s bravery and sacrifice were on display for everyone to see on January 6th, 2021,” said Patrick Murphy, founder of Taking the Hill. “But just as important has been his dedication to raising the alarm about the threat our democracy still faces. His decision to speak out, despite the target on his back, showcases his commitment to our American values and is the reason we know he is the right choice to represent the people of Maryland.”
“It is with great pride that I accept the endorsement of Taking the Hill PAC. Growing up in a military family, I know that our veterans and service members are the best of us. My father and grandfather both served and showed me the importance of putting others first. That is what service members do on a daily basis,” said Harry Dunn. “I will fight every day to repay the sacrifice of every American dedicated to service.”
Dunn has garnered wide support from across Maryland and the country, with more than 5,000 individual donors just in Maryland averaging under $26.50 per donation. He has received the endorsement of End Citizens United, J Street, and VoteVets PAC. Demonstrating his growing support, Dunn has also been endorsed by former Maryland Democratic Party Chair, Susie Turnbull and Montgomery County Councilmember Will Jawando, as well as numerous members of Congress, including Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Jim Clyburn (SC-06), Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10), Congressman Colin Allred (TX-32), Congressman Eric Swalwell (CA-14), Congressman Adam Schiff (CA-30), Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (MO-05), Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03), Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), and Congressman Bennie Thompson (MS-02).
Earlier this month, Dunn announced the results of a poll that showed him as the best-known, best-liked and the leading candidate in the crowded field to replace retiring Congressman John Sarbanes.
Dunn announced raising more than $3.75 million in the first quarter of 2024 from more than 100,000 donors. Harry Dunn also released his Plan to Protect the People’s Democracy – a detailed roadmap to fight corruption in our government and put power back in the hands of everyday Americans. Just 3 days later, a Super PAC that is funded by and endorses election deniers poured millions of MAGA dollars into Harry’s race.
