Gluesenkamp Perez Secures Second Term in Washington's 3rd District

Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has secured a second term in the U.S. House of Representatives for Washington's 3rd Congressional District, defeating Republican Joe Kent with 51.55% of the vote. The race was closely watched, with Perez's lead growing slightly with each new batch of results. In other local elections, several races in Washington's 17th and 18th Districts remain tight, and a proposal to fund more police officers in Vancouver is failing. Former Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler lost her bid for Commissioner of Public Lands.
