Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Secures Washington House Seat in Tight Race

Democratic Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has narrowly won re-election in Washington state's 3rd Congressional District, defeating Republican challenger Joe Kent for the second time. Despite the district's Republican leanings and its support for Trump in 2020, Gluesenkamp Perez managed to retain her seat by positioning herself as a moderate with a bipartisan voting record. Her victory in this closely watched race is significant as the GOP aimed to reclaim the district, which had been in Democratic hands for only two years after a decade of Republican control.
