Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 3rd district since 2023, recently shared updates on various initiatives and concerns through social media posts. Perez, who succeeded Jaime Herrera Beutler, has been active in addressing local issues and engaging with constituents.
On February 3, 2025, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez announced that “Wahkiakum PUD has broken ground on an alternate water source for Puget Island!” She emphasized the importance of securing federal funds to prevent an increase in utility rates and expressed satisfaction at witnessing the progress firsthand.
Later that day, she reported having “a great roundtable with Southwest Washington log truck drivers” to discuss their concerns and explore ways she could assist them federally. She highlighted the need for accessible career paths for young people in this field and sensible regulations for independent operators.
On February 6, 2025, Perez voiced her stance against a government proposal involving personal data access by DOGE contractors. She stated that “exposing Americans’ personal data to unelected DOGE contractors doesn’t need to be part of the toolset.” Consequently, she supports the Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw its request for such access.
