Former U.S. Capitol police officer Harry Dunn is competing with Maryland state Del. Adrian Boafo, the Democratic Party’s favored candidate to succeed retiring Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) in the race for Maryland’s 5th Congressional District.

This isn’t the first time Dunn has run for the House. In 2024, he lost to then-Maryland state Sen. Sarah Elfreth in the Democratic primary for Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District. Elfreth went on to win the seat in the general election, and she is seeking reelection this year.
