Summary
Harry Dunn is a former U.S. Capitol Police officer who risked his life to save our democracy by repelling the rioters on January 6th. He was one of three Capitol Police officers who gave riveting testimony to the January 6th Committee. Those events have led him to resign from the Capitol Police force and to run for Congress from Maryland. He describes his role in providing security for protests at the Capitol and how the events of January 6th were unexpected. He talks about the physical assaults and racist slurs he and his colleagues faced during the attack. He also discusses the influence of Donald Trump and the need for truth and decency in politics. He emphasizes the importance of standing up for the country and the potential consequences if action is not taken. He mentions his policy priorities, such as healthcare, gun reform, mental health funding, infrastructure, and addressing rising crime. He acknowledges the polarization in the country and the audience that exists for Donald Trump. He expresses concern about Trump's statements and actions, including his desire to be a dictator.

Today Bill directs listeners to ActBlue.com to donate to Harry’s campaign.
