Marie Gluesenkamp Perez defeats Joe Kent a second time in Washington's 3rd Congressional District

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Columbian yesterday pronounced Democratic Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez the victor in her closely-watched rematch with neofascist Republican challenger Joe Kent, concluding that Gluesenkamp Perez’s advantage is too great for Kent to overcome. Our team agrees that Kent has run out of runway and will fall short, which means Southwest Washington will continue to have Democratic representation.

Her campaign released a lengthy statement celebrating her win:

Thank you, Southwest Washington. Serving you in Congress is a profound honor and a gift I will never squander. I’m deeply grateful for this vote of confidence in the work I’ve done to set aside national politics and represent our community in Washington, D.C. I will continue to honestly reflect the independence of Southwest Washington in everything I do as our voice in D.C. Our heritage as fiercely independent, loyal fighters for our community is as clear to me as it was the day my family and I decided to ask for the privilege of working for our community.

I am deeply humbled by the tens of thousands of supporters who stood alongside me in this campaign, the patriotism and diligence of my staff, and for my friends and family – especially Dean – who have extended truth and grace to me on this challenging road. Your confidence in my ability to do this work and do it well has carried me through many long plane rides.
