Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, serving Washington’s 3rd district, has been actively engaging with her constituents, as reflected in her recent tweets. In a recent interaction with students and concerns about federal agency staff cuts, Perez expressed her advocacy for transparency and community involvement across Southwest Washington counties.
On April 7, 2025, Representative Perez thanked the students of Centralia Christian School for their visit to the Capitol. She tweeted, “Thanks to the students of Centralia Christian School for visiting the Capitol last week! We got to talk about their aspirations – whether it’s running a family farm or forest, driving freight trains, or working in law enforcement. The future is looking bright!”
Later that same day, Perez shared her concerns about changes in the U.S. Forest Service staffing. At 19:13:43 on April 7, she tweeted her worries, stating, “I was very concerned when I heard from local U.S. Forest Service employees that staff were being cut who help fight wildfire and execute timber sales. We need to cut through bureaucracy in our federal agencies – not scapegoat civil servants who love to work in our woods.”
On April 9, 2025, Perez reiterated her commitment to community dialogue through town halls. In her announcement, she said, “It’s important to me to hear folks’ priorities in all 7 counties across Southwest Washington, which is why I’ve held town halls in each one. I’ll be in Centralia on April 22 to take your questions – and I hope you can make it!” Perez emphasizes the importance of community voices in addressing regional issues.
