Federal Election Commission ‘found no reason to believe’ in what Kent advisor called ‘baseless lies;
YACOLT — The FEC recently released its decision and an analysis of the employment-related accusations against Joe Kent and stated the following:
“The Commission found no reason to believe that 1) Joseph Kent and Joe Kent for Congress and Thomas Datwyler in his official capacity as treasurer violated 52 U.S.C. §§ 30116(f) or 30118(a) by knowingly accepting excessive or prohibited corporate contributions through salary payments made by Kent’s employer; and 2) Joe Kent for Congress and Thomas Datwyler in his official capacity as treasurer violated 52 U.S.C. §§ 30116(f) or 30118(a) by knowingly accepting excessive or prohibited corporate in-kind contributions in the form of payments for polling. Accordingly, the Commission closed its file in this matter.”
In the 2022 general election, Kent was defeated by Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez by less than a 1 percent margin in the race for the Third Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. He has received an early endorsement from the Clark County Republican Party and the Washington State Republican Party. Camas City Councilor Leslie Lewallen, a Republican, is also a candidate in Third Congressional District in the 2024 election.
Kent advisor Erin Van Natta made the following statement:
“Marie Perez and a willing local and national media ran with baseless lies about Joe Kent and his employer and now he has been fully vindicated. We are grateful to the FEC for its investigation that concluded Joe was gainfully employed by American Enterprise Solutions.
“Marie Perez’s blatantly false accusation that Joe, a retired 20-year Army combat veteran and CIA field operative, ‘didn’t work for a living’ is abhorrent and she and the rest of the media that spread this lie owe Joe an apology.’’

Who is Kent’s employer and what does he do?

Marie Perez’s blatantly false accusation that Joe, a retired 20-year Army combat veteran and CIA field operative, ‘didn’t work for a living’ is abhorrent and she and the rest of the media that spread this lie owe Joe an apology.’’
Perez needs to do more than apologize. This foolish senator should never LIE about a veteran without positive proof of her facts. She can easily get proof about Joe Kent, since she works for the government!
Since Democrat Biden has sent America to war, in many countries, why would anyone want to defend this nation, if a Democrat legislator can so easily sabotage an opponent’s impeccable military reputation by lying? I would like to see Perez go to war and defend this nation! Draft only democrats, if the draft gets re-instated. Remember she is part of the legislators who sent America to war and funded it.
Democrat Obama wrote a bill about allowing fake news in the media. It is OK! Was Perez was testing it is OK to do?
Kent should sue her for slander and get damages to help fund his campaign.
Perez would learn really quick NOT TO LIE!
In my opinion we really need Joe Kent to get the US out of the United Nations. This should be the number one priority of this nation and all its people. Doing that would stop America marching lock step into Marxist, socialist/ communist United Nation’s one world, one nation Order under China’s control. Bill and Melinda Gates fund the WHO. That is a cabal of elitists profiting off our demise. We are living with military and under medical tyranny. Gates will have China running our medical system.
Who voted for Gates to rule the world and fund the genocidal vaccine programs, global sterilization, spraying our shy to block the sun, causing food shortages by buying all the farmland so we can eat bugs? Being rich doesn’t mean he can harm or kill people with his investments and ideas. The WHO cabal needs to be shut down. Did Gates legalize murder, with his clotting transhuman jabs?
This can be fixed at the local level, in our local corporate county and city councils, who participated in this population reduction and sustainable policies and building. Then you go after the sharks at the federal levels. (Do not reelect, recall and term limits) But first we need to have election integrity. Our county council knows our auditor violated federal law and they aren’t doing anything to prosecute the man! They rewarded him with 4.7 million for a new office! Michelle Belcock is on the public’s side. She spoke against the auditor’s new office.
Top experts are warning humanity for a world dictatorship. Will we listen?
