In the upcoming election for Washington's 3rd Congressional District, incumbent Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, aged 36 and a Reed College alumna, will face off against Republican nominee Joe Kent, a 44-year-old former U.S. Army Special Forces officer. This election is a rematch of the 2022 election here.
The United States House of Representatives is presently composed of 212 Democrats, 220 Republicans, and 3 vacancies. This district's demographic breakdown includes 80% Non-Hispanic White, 11% Hispanic, 4% Asian, 2% Black, and 2% Native American populations, each playing a crucial role in shaping the electorate's preferences and priorities.
Donald Trump won the presidential race in this district in 2020 by a margin of 4%. The 2022 House race was highly competitive, with Gluesenkamp Perez winning by a margin of less than 1%. This district is considered to be highly competitive, and the upcoming election results could significantly influence the balance of power in the House, where Republicans currently hold a slight majority.
