After the deadly chemical tank rupture that killed 11 people last Tuesday at a paper mill in Longview, questions continue to loom over the community — including what environmental impacts the chemical spill could have on the city and nearby Columbia River, as well as the potential cause of this disaster. It’s Washington’s deadliest workplace incident in nearly a century. Officials from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board arrived in Longview last Wednesday to investigate the cause of the chemical disaster. The future of the board has been uncertain in recent months after a proposed budget from President Trump would have defunded the federal agency, and a recent house bill restored the board's funding by $8.2 million. But yesterday afternoon, the House Appropriations Committee adopted an amendment brought by U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez to add over $5 million to preserve the full funding for the CSB. We’ll hear more from Gluesenkamp Perez, whose congressional district includes Longview, for more on the investigation and its impact on the Longview community.

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez pulled in $1.3 million in three months while John Braun raised $356,000 in their closely watched 3rd District race. But the incumbent congresswoman won't say where she stands on Washington's new income tax that has voters fired up. Braun points out that only 7.8% of her donations came from within Washington State, with over $600,000 bundled from New York City financiers. The Republican challenger, backed by Trump's endorsement, says the income tax is the top issue voters bring up on the campaign trail. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/video-congresswoman-gluesenkamp-perez-still-mum-about-was-new-income-tax/ #WashingtonPolitics #3rdDistrict #CampaignFinance #IncomeTax #Congress #Election2026 #ClarkCounty #MarieGluesenkampPerez #JohnBraun
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is demanding federal action as sea lions consume four times more Columbia River salmon than fishermen harvest. The congresswoman wrote to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seeking expanded lethal removal authority, citing the $38,000 cost per sea lion removed under current burdensome processes. With nearly one-fourth of fish at Bonneville Dam showing sea lion bite wounds during spring season, she argues taxpayer dollars are being wasted while fishing families struggle with record grocery prices. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/marie-gluesenkamp-perez-seeks-federal-assistance-in-combating-sea-lion-predation-of-salmon-steelhead-fishing-stock/ #ColumbiaRiver #Salmon #SeaLions #NOAA #Fishing #MarineProtection #SouthwestWashington #ClarkCounty #PacificNorthwest #WashingtonState
State Senate minority leader John Braun landed Donald Trump's endorsement Tuesday in his campaign to unseat Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in Washington's 3rd Congressional District. The backing from Trump, along with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise, positions Braun as the GOP standard-bearer in a race that could determine House control. Gluesenkamp Perez, who flipped the seat in 2022, says Braun will be "beholden" to Trump's agenda. The contest covers Clark, Lewis, and Cowlitz counties in a district Trump has won three times but where Republicans lost the House seat in 2022. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/trump-backs-john-braun-to-unseat-marie-gluesenkamp-perez-in-us-house-race/ #WashingtonPolitics #3rdDistrict #Trump #Congress #ClarkCounty #Election2026 #HouseRace #Politics

The Secure Rural Schools act has provided crucial federal funding for rural schools and counties for 25 years. But for the past two years, funding has lapsed as efforts to renew the act failed and House Republicans omitted the program’s funding from federal spending in July. Now, that funding could be reinstated. On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of the Secure Rural Schools Reauthorization Act, which was approved by the Senate earlier this year. The bill now heads to the president to be signed and made into law. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a democrat representing southwest Washington, co-lead the push for this bill. She joins us to share more.

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez represents Washington’s 3rd District, which encompasses Clark, Cowlitz, Lewis, Pacific, Wahkiakum, and Skamania counties and a smidge of Thurston County. It’s a relatively rural district that has voted for President Trump three times. Somehow, she has been able to convince a good number of those Trump voters to ALSO send her, a Democrat, to Congress. And that’s put Gluesenkamp Perez in a unique and small club of Democrats being asked to diagnose their party’s problems and come up with a vision for the future. So what does it take to lead from a vulnerable seat, and what are the lessons Democrats can draw from what’s happening in Southwest Washington? One of those might be – figure out the solution to the gerontocracy in Congress. GUEST: Rep.

Today's Headlines: President Trump announced a plan to send weapons to Ukraine via NATO and threatened 100% tariffs on Russia—or “secondary tariffs” on countries buying Russian oil—if a ceasefire isn't reached in 50 days. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's xAI secured a $200M Defense Department contract days after Grok declared itself “MechaHitler” and spewed antisemitic content. The Supreme Court paused an order blocking 1,400 layoffs at the Education Department, just as 24 states and D.C. sued the Trump administration over $7B in frozen education funds. The administration is also appealing a court order banning immigration arrests without probable cause, even as ICE agents express deep dissatisfaction with the politically driven deportation focus.

Join Matt Lewis as he sits down with Ryan Grim, reporter at Drop Site News, author of We've Got People, and cohost of Counter Points, to unpack Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's explosive "Fighting Oligarchy" tour. With 30,000 people turning out in Denver, what does this massive rally mean for the future of the Democratic Party? We dive into the resurgence of populist energy, Bernie's unshakable authenticity, AOC's rising star status, and why young voters are flocking to their message. From class warfare to the pitfalls of "woke" politics, we explore whether this movement is too little too late — or the key to taking on Trump's billionaire-backed GOP. Could Bernie still be the answer, or is a new outsider like Sean Fain or Marie Gluesenkamp Perez ready to step up? Topics Covered: -- The 30,000-strong Denver rally and its implications -- Bernie's populist appeal vs. AOC's identity politics challenge -- Why Democrats lost the working class — and how they might win it back -- Elon Musk, billionaires, and the new case for class consciousness -- Rising stars and the future of the party*** Get Ryan's book 'We've Got People' https://www.amazon.com/Weve-Got-People-Jackson-Movement/dp/1947492381 and follow his work at DropSite News and Counterpoints!

Matt Gaetz is out as Trump's attorney general pick after the mounting questions about past interactions with young women cost him the support of key senators. Nominated in his place: former Florida AG Pam Bondi. Meanwhile, House Republicans have decided their top priority is prohibiting incoming Congresswoman Sarah McBride from using women's bathrooms in the Capitol. Jon and Dan break down what the Gaetz debacle says about Trump's Cabinet picks, his rocky relationships with Senate Republicans, what the bathroom stunt means for LGBTQ rights, and how McBride and her colleagues should respond. Then, Congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez talks with Jon about how she pulled off another win in her rural, Trump-supporting district, and what Democrats can learn from her success.

Democratic congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez defeated a challenge from Trump-identified Republican Joe Kent in Washington's 3rd District — despite the fact that Trump won that same district. Gluesenkamp Perez told the New York Times that result was because she refused to nationalize her local race and had solid support from working class voters, who she says her party needs to do a much better job representing. Despite a number of races around the country still too close to call, control of the U.S. House looks likely to fall to the GOP. With that party’s control of the Senate, Donald Trump re-elected as president, and a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, Republicans would have a lock on all three branches of government. Gluesenkamp Perez joins us from Washington, D.C. to tell us more about how she plans to represent her district and work across the aisle.
