Democratic incumbent Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is running for a second term serving Washington’s 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House. Perez defeated Republican incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler and MAGA challenger Joe Kent in 2022. She runs a family auto repair shop with her husband and was the previous executive director of the Stevenson Downtown Association, a part of the Main Street American coalition.
In office, Perez has been a voice for rural and working-class Washington communities. She has championed the "right to repair" to save money for her constituents and reduce waste. Her voting record has been independent, reflecting her district on border policy, the environment, education, and public safety. Her campaign platform in this race remains focused on the issues affecting regular Washingtonians like affordable childcare, substance abuse treatment, energy independence, abortion and reproductive health care access, keeping large corporations accountable and out of politics, and raising wages to match the rising cost of living.
Regardless of what else is happening in the other Washington, Perez has remained laser-focused on improving lives in the 3rd Congressional District. For example, she has focused on fixing infrastructure, including securing $600 million for a new I-5 Bridge.
Perez is once again facing MAGA extremist Joe Kent who is running again after being narrowly defeated in his 2022 bid against Perez. In his previous primary campaign, he distinguished himself from fellow Republican Jaime Herrera Beutler by his extremely far-right platform and an endorsement from Donald Trump. Kent is a Special Forces veteran and former CIA employee. He is running a negative campaign that relies on stoking fears and scapegoating members of our community. Kent has campaigned on adopting a national abortion ban, the promise to impeach President Biden and Vice President Harris, and the dangerous lie that Trump won the 2020 election. Now, he once again hopes that he can empower himself by dividing us; Congressional District 3 deserves a representative who fights for everyone, not just the residents who look and think like Kent.
The district needs leaders who will stand up for them, not MAGA conspiracy theorists. Perez has earned your vote for a second term in Congress.
