曾在2021年1月6日国会山骚乱事件后成为全国知名人物和活动家的前美国国会警察哈里·邓恩（Harry Dunn）于周三宣布将竞选马里兰州的国会议员席位。
作为民主党人，邓恩在2021年1月6日事件委员会的全国性电视听证会上公开露面并作证后，迅速成为全国政治舞台上的知名面孔和人物。
这将是邓恩第二次竞选国会议员。2024年，他曾试图获得马里兰州第3选区的民主党提名，但未成功。这次，他将竞选邻近的第5选区，该选区包括华盛顿特区的东部和南部郊区。
该席位的现任议员是长期担任众议院多数党领袖的民主党资深议员斯泰尼·霍耶（Steny Hoyer），他将不再寻求连任。已有其他几名民主党人也在角逐这个深蓝选区的席位，其中包括一名获得霍耶支持的州议员。
邓恩在第5选区长大，该选区包括他出生和上学的乔治王子县，他在那里曾是一名明星运动员。”这里是我的家，塑造了我的一切，”他说。
“我们需要国会中有人准备挺身而出并为之奋斗，”邓恩在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示，”当我在马里兰州的活动中发言时，我听到了选民的恐惧。现在人们很害怕。”
邓恩表示，特朗普政府大规模解雇联邦雇员对第5选区产生了不成比例的影响，因为该地区有大量联邦雇员居住，且设有一些联邦机构。
其他民主党人此前曾利用邓恩的政治影响力，邀请他参加筹款活动和政治集会以激发支持者兴趣。
邓恩尤其批评特朗普总统，包括他持续否认2021年1月6日美国国会山骚乱的事实。
“我必须回应对当天事件的歪曲，”邓恩说，”我们绝不会让类似事件再次发生。”
特朗普已赦免了超过1500名参与骚乱的被告，其中包括殴打并伤害警察的人。此后，特朗普试图篡改1月6日事件的历史，将对定罪骚乱者的起诉描述为”严重的全国性不公”。
上个月，白宫在其官方政府网站上发布了一个页面，散布关于此次袭击的虚假指控，包括声称2020年大选被”窃取”以及国会警察对暴力事件负有责任。
霍耶于20世纪80年代初首次当选，是众议院民主党人的坚定支持者。
马里兰州第5选区一直是民主党的稳固票仓，霍耶在2024年以超过67%的选票轻松连任。但他即将退休之际，正值民主党仍在努力应对代际更替带来的内部紧张局势。
在民主党方面，争夺该席位的候选人众多，竞争态势明显。霍耶已明确支持州议员阿德里安·博亚福（Adrian Boafo）后，邓恩才宣布参选。
目前已宣布参选的民主党候选人包括2024年曾在初选中挑战霍耶但以失败告终的昆西·巴里比（Quincy Bareebe），以及志愿消防员哈里·贾林（Harry Jarin），他去年5月就开始竞选该席位，并在当时的声明中表示：”斯泰尼代表着一个不再适用于我们的旧政治时代。”
在宣布不再寻求连任后，霍耶公开支持曾担任他竞选经理的马里兰州州议员阿德里安·博亚福，希望他接替自己。
“阿德里安证明了他有能力取得成果，”霍耶在社交媒体帖子中表示。
Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn running for Congress
February 4, 2026 / 5:30 AM EST / CBS News
Former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, who emerged as a national figure and activist after the Capitol siege on Jan. 6, 2021, announced a run for Congress in Maryland on Wednesday.
Dunn, a Democrat, has rapidly transformed into a well-known face and name in national politics in the years after he appeared and testified publicly at nationally televised hearings for the House January 6th Select Committee.
This will be Dunn’s second run for Congress, after an unsuccessful attempt to secure the Democratic nomination for a seat in Maryland’s 3rd District in 2024. This time, he is running in the nearby 5th District, which includes the eastern and southern suburbs of Washington, D.C.
The district is being vacated by Rep. Steny Hoyer, a longtime Democrat who previously served in leadership as House Majority Leader. Several other Democrats are contending for the deep-blue seat, including a state lawmaker who was endorsed by Hoyer.
Dunn was raised in the 5th District, which includes Prince George’s County, where Dunn was born, went to school and was a star athlete: “It’s home and it made me who I am,” he said.
“We need people here in Congress who are prepared to stand up and fight,” Dunn told CBS News. “I’m hearing the fear of the people in the district, as I speak at events in Maryland. People are scared now.”
Dunn said the Trump administration’s mass layoffs of federal workers had a disproportionate impact on the 5th District, where a large number of federal employees live and some federal offices are based.
Other Democrats have previously utilized Dunn’s political following by having him join fundraisers and political events to galvanize interest.
Dunn has been especially critical of President Trump, including his ongoing denial of the facts of the U.S. Capitol riot by Trump supporters.
“I have to respond to the rewriting of what happened that day,” Dunn said, “We refuse to let them happen.”
Trump pardoned more than 1,500 of the riot defendants, including those who beat and injured police officers. Trump has since sought to alter the history of Jan. 6, characterizing the prosecution of the convicted rioters as a “grave national injustice.”
The White House posted a page on its official government website last month with false claims about the attack, including that the 2020 election was “stolen” and that Capitol Police bear responsibility for the violence.
First elected in the early 1980s, Hoyer is a stalwart figure for House Democrats.
Maryland’s 5th District is reliably Democratic, and Hoyer easily won re-election in 2024 with more than 67% of the vote. But his upcoming retirement comes as Democrats continue to wrestle with tensions around generational change.
The race to succeed him already has notable dynamics on Democratic side as it draws a crowded field. And Dunn is entering the race after Hoyer already endorsed in the contest.
Among those already in the race are Quincy Bareebe, who lost a longshot primary run against Hoyer in 2024, and volunteer firefighter Harry Jarin, who started a primary run for the seat last May and said in an announcement news release at the time that “Steny represents a bygone era of politics that isn’t working for us anymore.”
After announcing he wouldn’t run for another term, Hoyer came out in support of Adrian Boafo, a Maryland state delegate who had once worked as his campaign manager, to replace him.
“Adrian has proven his ability to deliver results,” Hoyer said in a social media post.
