Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 3rd district since 2023, has been active on social media discussing legislative initiatives and issues relevant to her constituents.

On December 11, 2024, Rep. Perez announced that the Problem Solvers Caucus endorsed the bipartisan GROWTH Act. According to her post, “It will level the playing field for community colleges by opening up access to federal grants for nursing programs.” She emphasized this as a significant advancement in addressing healthcare workforce shortages in rural areas.

Adams,” she noted collaboration with Rep. Newhouse to encourage USGS to enhance monitoring and provide clarity into vulnerabilities.
