Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

I'm definitely not your typical candidate for Congress. And right now, the only thing standing between Joe Kent and Congress is me.

Right to repair is a big reason I ran for Congress. In the trades, we don't want handouts. We want a level playing field and the ability to fix our own stuff without being held hostage by the manufacturer. Read the article here ---> wapo.st/4sm8pil

The cost of this war is mounting–for 13 American soldiers the cost was the ultimate one. And it can feel small to complain about diesel but at $6.20/gallon it’s a serious burden on families and small businesses. I share some of my former opponents' questions about the strategy and trajectory of the war in Iran. Yet, once in a debate, Joe Kent told me he believes citizens should have access to tactical nukes and now he’s insinuating the Jews are controlling the president. Very strange to see some on the left swooning on him. Can we just share the goal of ending forever wars without celebrating this weirdo?

You've made a terrible mistake.

I'm just posting so I don't get fined. Bring it home, 12s #GoHawks

Wishing a very happy 2026 to whoever found my phone in the bulk section of the Brush Prairie WinCo and turned it in to lost and found.

Southwest Washington will get through these floods the way we get through everything: by having each other’s backs. Check on your neighbors & call 211 for local shelter info, warming centers, and emergency resources. Free sandbags are being distributed through local Public Works and Emergency Management offices. Stay safe, Washington.

Normal people deserve a seat at the table when we are developing federal policy. It can't just be experts in a lab somewhere.

Just a reminder on this darkest day (#cyberMonday) that the best things in life aren’t for sale…but if you have to buy something, I found this killer deal on organic bacon grease. Again, shop local!

It’s Cyber Monday but the only shopping I did recently was going to cut down our tree in the Gifford Pinchot. The sun was out. The woods had that kind of actual reality feeling you just can’t get from plastic. It’s $5, the permit is easy to get, and it’s genuinely fun.

Humbled by the support I’ve received from people across the district this week for staying true to our shared values. Thank you, Southwest Washington.

My kid just got his first gusher bloody nose. Thank you Daylight Savings Time for this annual rug pull. And it’s not just about tired kids bumping into shit - research shows car and other accidents spike in the days and weeks following the time change. Nothing personal against Ben Franklin, but it’s TIME to stop changing the clocks twice a year.

We can’t let National Republicans buy this seat. Let’s keep it in the hands of the people. Will you chip in now? go.marieforcongress.com/a/new-opponent

I’ll save you the read ⬇ National Republicans are pouring money into this race to put another yes-man for special interests in Congress. The swamp is trying to put Southwest Washington on a leash and under the control of partisan politicians in D.C. Before Congress I ran an auto repair and machine shop, and I know nothing worth doing happens in the short run or by yourself. I need your support in this fight. It’s going to take all of us to keep an independent voice like mine in Congress - a representative who is loyal to our local interests, not politics. clbn.us/Zaqa5

he got that dog in him 🐶

Most Democrats would rather talk about anything other than Biden’s decline and aging politicians. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez isn’t like most Democrats. thefp.com/p/the-democrat…

Summer is officially here! My son and I kicked off the season by building a tree fort together, and we think it turned out pretty great. There's no better time to get outside and dig into a new project with your kids!

"Ever since Gluesenkamp Perez’s 2022 upset, national outlets have leaned on familiar labels to characterize her—moderate, centrist—as if her win in a Trump district could only be explained by ideological triangulation" Read Evelyn Quartz's piece in COMPACT compactmag.com/article/marie-…

this week every Blue Dog voted against an unbalanced, reckless budget bill Republicans wrote without any bipartisan input their single-party bill would gut health care and explode the deficit to fund tax cuts for the rich elect more Blue Dogs to Congress to stop bills like this
