Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez survives Washington’s crowded primary
politics
The Guardian reports that Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez advanced from Washington's all-party primary, securing one of two spots that advance to the general election in what's become one of the nation's most watched House races. She'll face Republican John Braun in November for a seat in a district that voted for Donald Trump in twenty twenty-four — terrain Democrats view as critical to controlling the chamber. Known for breaking with her party on key votes, Gluesenkamp Perez, now in her second term, overcame attacks from both the left and right to reach November's ballot.
