Third Congressional District Lynne Treat offers her thoughts on the Congressional race
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com
Marie Glusenkamp Perez is the candidate for Congress in our district. She clearly best represents the wants and needs of the residents in our region. She stands for, among other things, increased funding for public education, job training, and health care for all our citizens.
Her opponent, on the other hand, promises to gut funding for all of these things. With Marie, we will take a bold step forward, as opposed to a step backward if we vote for her opponent. From where I sit, Marie Glusenkamp Perez is the clear and rational choice for representative in our district.

Only if you want to be taxed to death to get what she is offering, Maire is not the best candidate.
Maria or Kristina (or whatever her name is today) is not the person the dumbocrats would have you believe. She lives in “rural Skamania County” yet owns a business in Portland? Huh? You think she drives back ‘n forth every day? Heck no! That’s why she owns a home in Portland! And until she recently got caught, she was registered to vote in Portland and Oregon elections!
Do you really want to elect an Oregonian, from Portland, to represent you?
She is in waayyyyy over her head! Never having held an elected office before, and seeing her stumble ‘n fumble during the debates, she’ll be eaten alive by the big boys in Congress. She needs to be running for Clark Co. Council, not as a U.S. Congressional candidate.
Vote for Kent!
Marie is an extreme leftist on every issue. She is obsessed with getting us into a conflict with Russia. She is not a moderate as she claims. Joe Kent is the only viable candidate for WA-03.
