WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) released the following statement on the Inauguration of the 47th President of the United States:
“In Southwest Washington, we have more in common than divides us. As I meet with folks across the wide reaches of our district, I frequently hear about common goals, priorities, and aspirations for our communities – not about divisive partisan politics.
Today, I attended the Inauguration of President Donald Trump on behalf of Washington’s Third District, and I witnessed the peaceful transfer of power that is core to our democracy. I’m glad to have met many of you from Southwest Washington who traveled all the way out to our nation’s capital to celebrate our country.
With a new Presidential Administration taking shape, I’m willing and eager to work with anyone on the issues that matter most to you, such as fighting the fentanyl hollowing out our rural communities, rebuilding jobs in our woods, and lowering the cost of high-quality childcare, housing, and goods.
As your independent voice in Congress, I remain committed to fighting for our shared values and against clickbait political agendas cooked up in D.C. There’s a lot of good, bipartisan work to get done, and I’m profoundly grateful to get to do it on your behalf.”
