Former Capitol Police officer and congressional candidate Harry Dunn joins Nola Haynes on Is Not A Spy to discuss his firsthand experience on January 6th and what it revealed about the state of American democracy. From growing up in Prince George’s County to defending the Capitol during the insurrection, Harry shares how that day reshaped his views on national security, law enforcement, and accountability — and why he’s now running for Congress. This episode explores the real impact of political violence, the role of race in policing, and the growing threat of apathy in the U.S.

 Harry Dunn was one of the Capitol Police Officers on January 6th, 2021 when MAGA rioters, fueled by Donald Trump’s Big Lie about the 2020 election being stolen, attempted to storm the Capitol. Harry is now running for Congress to succeed retiring former House Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer (D. MD), in Maryland’s 5th congressional district. Harry is running in the Democratic primary on a message of bringing accountability back to Congress. Especially the people who orchestrated the January 6th riots.
