Published August 7, 2024 4:28pm ET



Rep. Marie Glusenkamp-Perez (D-WA) brought in about 46.86% of the vote in Tuesday’s Washington state primary, where she faced off against second-place finisher Republican Joe Kent.

Glusenkamp-Perez is considered a centrist Democrat who caucuses with the House’s Blue Dog Coalition, which includes co-chairs Mary Peltola (D-AK) and Jared Golden (D-ME) among others. Her victory on Tuesday was a good sign, but warning signs remain beneath the surface.
