One of the most closely watched congressional races of the 2024 election happened here in Washington State, with Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez facing off once again against Donald Trump-endorsed Republican Joe Kent. 

The district went for Trump in the presidential race, but held on to the Auto Shop owner-turned-Congresswoman for another term.

And she’s here to talk about the win, what Democrats can learn from it, and her legislative priorities in office.
