Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez wins Washington state rematch
Posted on 11/10/2024
Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez won a rematch with GOP challenger Joe Kent in Washington state, The Associated Press projected Saturday.
Gluesenkamp Perez’ Washington seat was a top target for Republicans, who hoped to win back the seat she flipped in 2022. Then-Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler received enormous backlash for voting to impeach then-President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which resulted in her loss in the 2022 primary. Kent ran to the right, and voters reacted by flipping the district blue in the general election.
