Harry Dunn, the former Capitol Police officer who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 and unsuccessfully ran for a House seat in Maryland last month, is starting a new PAC to support candidates running against pro-Trump Republicans. The group will be called Dunn’s Democracy Defenders, and it aims to stop former President Donald Trump and what Dunn calls “MAGA extremists” in the Republican Party from winning their elections this fall.
Elfreth highlighted her legislative record and got a boost from an outside group affiliated with the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee. In his first run for political office, Dunn raised more than $4.5 million in less than six months, making him one of the best 30 House candidate fundraisers this election cycle to date — including incumbents who have been fundraising for their re-elections since January 2023. That gives Dunn a strong financial platform for his new group.
