Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Fights to Keep a Foothold in Pacific Northwest's Trump Country
The ad-fueled race has turned personal as both candidates seek to sway voters in one of the nation’s most competitive House contests.
- On Tuesday, Democratic U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Republican state Sen. John Braun held their final debate, clashing over federal policies and social issues as voters began casting ballots in the 3rd Congressional District race.
- Seeking a third term, Gluesenkamp Perez faces Braun, a businessman and state legislator aiming to appeal to moderate voters who rejected former candidate Joe Kent for his extremist connections.
- Both candidates criticized the Trump administration's approach to tariffs. Gluesenkamp Perez defended her vote against U.S. military action in Iran, saying "the president has gone into this war recklessly, with no clear objectives and no strategy to achieve them."
- Gluesenkamp Perez questioned Braun's lack of outreach to a family following a fatal accident at Braun Northwest two years ago, prompting Braun to call the remark "heartless" and "a character attack."
- This contest in southwest Washington remains among a handful of competitive congressional races nationwide, with the outcome potentially determining which party controls the House majority next year.
