Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, an auto repair shop owner, was elected to Washington’s 3rd Congressional district with roughly 51 percent of the vote Saturday night.
She defeated Republican nominee Joe Kent, a retired Green Beret and a CIA paramilitary officer who won an endorsement from former President Trump in the primary against Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) — one of the 10 House Republicans who voted for impeachment.

Trump endorsed Joe Kent over Jaime Herrera Beutler who voted for his impeachment. Kent ousted her in the primary — but this was supposed to be a very safe GOP seat. It’s a big upset. She hyper focused on local issues while Kent was going on the Steve Bannon podcast routinely.
