Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez received the most votes in Washington's August CD-3 primary, with Joe Kent (R) coming in second. CD-3's incumbent representative, Jaime Herrera Beutler (R) came in third. That means a moderate Democrat is facing a full-MAGA Republican for this congressional seat in November.
It’s such an important race for Marie to win—and her campaign has been picking up major steam since this NYT article painted a clear contrast between Marie and extremist GOP candidate Joe Kent.
Please help Marie continue to get her name and message out!
Pass along the donation link below to all of your friends and family; it will be live until 11/1.
Encourage anybody you know who lives in WA-3 to vote for Marie.
If you can volunteer for Marie’s campaign—phone-banking, door-knocking, texting—the link is below.
And if you feel like you can donate a bit more, please do so; Marie needs all the support she can get to win!
