NRCC Statement on WA-03 Primary Election

August 7, 2024

WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released the following statement on Washington’s 3rd Congressional district primary election results:

“Congratulations to U.S. Army Special Forces Veteran Joe Kent on tonight’s win. Joe will deploy to Congress to lower inflation and costs, end the border crisis and defend law and order, just like he enlisted at age 18 and fought to protect our freedoms for 20 years over 11 combat deployments.

The jig is up for Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, whose fake moderate mask slipped, revealing her to be an extreme Portland liberal. From her Reed College radical days to aiding Antifa rioters, praising an Islamic terrorist group and voting against securing the border, Portland Perez sides with the far-left, not southwest Washington.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
