Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Secures Reelection in Washington's 3rd District

The Democrat overcame Republican challenger Joe Kent in a closely contested rematch, reinforcing her position in a traditionally conservative district.

• Perez won with 52.1% of the vote against Joe Kent's 47.9%, as reported with 95% of the votes counted.
• Her victory marks a significant win for Democrats in a district that narrowly supported Trump in 2020.
• Perez is noted for her conservative-leaning positions within the Democratic Party, often breaking with her party on issues like border security and the economy.
• She declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, citing concerns over Harris's commitment to the working class.
• The race drew additional attention due to an arson attack on a ballot box in Vancouver, Washington, which affected hundreds of ballots.
