Dunn, who is running for Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District being vacated by Democrat John Sarbanes, was a familiar figure on the Washington spectrum when in 2021 he testified before the House Select Committee on Representatives.

He then recounted how Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers were attacked that day and recalled the racial insults that he and other black colleagues received from people who violently broke into the building complex.

The former officer had already anticipated in interviews given to the press that what “happened on January 6 and everything that happened after, pushed me and threw me into this space now.”

Although Dunn resides outside the district (he lives in Montgomery County), he said that, if he were elected to the Sarbanes district, he would act accordingly.

He commented on some ideas about the choice of women; he also stated that it is a necessity to expand and protect voting rights, take common sense measures on firearms and make health care more affordable for the people of the state of Maryland, which would be in line with a Democratic profile.

The attack on the federal Capitol three years ago (tomorrow) was classified here as the worst attack on American democracy, of which they pride themselves on being champions in the country.

A mob of fanatical followers of then-President Donald Trump- encouraged by his theory of electoral fraud- broke into the headquarters of Congress to interrupt the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory at the polls, in November 2020.

As a result of the violence on that unfortunate day, five people died and more than 140 police officers were injured.
