Marie gets it done

Two years ago Marie Glusenkamp Perez hit the House of Representatives in DC running with plans to make a difference in her 3rd Congressional District in SW Washington.

Did you know? Marie used $21 million Federal Infrastructure funding to meet needs in all 7 counties of her District including our Puget Island in Wahkiakum county.

Did you know? Marie and her staff have sifted through hundreds of federal grant opportunities to help rural communities like ours. These include renewable energy to preservation of historic buildings and everything in between.

Did you know? Marie sponsored a national bill to help working parents pay for needed daycare.

Did you know? Marie crossed the aisle to vote for 2nd Amendment rights while insisting on gun safety.

Did you know? Marie is a member of the long standing Blue Dog Coalition in Washington DC which is fiscally conservative and socially progressive.

By contrast Joe Kent has nothing to add after his defeat to MGP. While we honor his and his first wife's military service, those experiences won't improve conditions in rural areas or ensure children get the care and education they need to become successful adults.

Let's stick with Marie. She knows what to do and is getting it done.
