Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a U.S. Congress member representing Washington's 3rd district since 2023, shared her views on various issues through a series of tweets on December 2, 2024. The congresswoman emphasized the need for government accountability and the importance of diverse perspectives in policy-making.

In a tweet posted at 17:28 UTC, Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez stated, "Americans deserve urgency and accountability from their government – & we need more folks turning wrenches, changing diapers, & driving trucks at the table." She announced her collaboration with Rep. Golden to establish a bipartisan task force aimed at addressing polarization and creating a more representative system.

At 18:29 UTC, she addressed the issue of broadband access in rural areas, stating that "getting broadband lines in the ground isn't about having bandwidth to stream cat videos – it’s about accessing employment, healthcare, schoolwork, and resources to grow small businesses." She highlighted the challenges of expanding fiber infrastructure in these communities due to commercial feasibility concerns.

A subsequent tweet at 18:29 UTC provided a link for further information on the topic discussed.
