Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Secures Victory in Washington House Rematch

Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has won a rematch against Republican challenger Joe Kent in Washington state, as projected by the Associated Press. The seat was a key target for Republicans after Gluesenkamp Perez flipped it in 2022, following backlash against then-Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler for her impeachment vote against Donald Trump. Kent's controversial statements on issues like abortion and the 2020 election may have influenced voters, despite his attempts to criticize Gluesenkamp Perez on border and spending issues.
