Washington’s 3rd Congressional District covers the southwest corner of the state, from Long Beach to Mount Adams, and from Yelm down to Vancouver.  It’s also the home of one of the most fiercely contested congressional seats in the entire country. In 2022, Republican challenger Joe Kent defeated incumbent Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler in the Primary, but lost to Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in the General election by roughly 2600 votes. This election, Kent is back for round 2, and looking to flip the district back to the GOP. He’s once again facing off against Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in this primary election… along with another candidate from the Republican Party, – Leslie Lewellen, a councilmember in Camas, WA. This week, we’re speaking with candidates in the race, to get a sense of their policy positions and vision for the future. GUEST: Joe Kent, Army veteran and Republican candidate for District 3 in the U.S. House of Representatives. RELATED LINKS:  Joe Kent is campaigning differently.
