US EditionHarry Dunn launches second Maryland House bid, this time for Hoyer’s seat
Harry Dunn seeks to replace retiring Rep. Steny Hoyer in Maryland’s 5th District, emphasizing his local roots and national profile from Jan. 6 activism.
- On Wednesday, Harry Dunn, former U.S. Capitol Police officer, launched his second run for Maryland's 5th Congressional District to replace retiring Rep. Steny Hoyer.
- Dunn has said he is running because he wants to challenge President Donald Trump's pardons and press on immigration and federal layoffs affecting Prince George's County.
- In his launch materials, Dunn argued for abolishing ICE, citing fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and told CBS News `We need people here in Congress who are prepared to stand up and fight`.
- Outside spending is already influencing the race as a super PAC tied to AIPAC spent more than 4 million dollars to boost Dunn's opponent, amid a crowded primary field including Adrian Boafo, Maryland state delegate, and others.
- If elected, Dunn says he will return to the Capitol with oversight and subpoena powers to challenge Trump, and Maryland's 5th District is reliably Democratic with Hoyer winning over 67% in 2024.
