Harry Dunn served 15 years as a member of the United States Capitol Police, where he was one of the brave officers who protected the country from insurrectionists trying to storm the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. He released a New York Times Bestseller memoir called “Standing My Ground” two years later, and after an unsuccessful bid for a House seat for the state of Maryland last May, he turned his attention towards starting a political action committee (PAC). The goal of Dunn’s Democracy Defenders, according to its website, is to support candidates who “will take on the MAGA extremists and the massive super PACs that undermine our democracy.” Dunn was also on the campaign trail with President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race.
