Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, representing Washington's 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared her thoughts on pressing issues through a series of tweets. Gluesenkamp Perez has been serving since 2023, succeeding Jaime Herrera Beutler.

On March 25, 2025, Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez addressed the topic of family and medical leave in a tweet. She stated: "Taking care of your health, newborn, or family when they’re most in need shouldn’t come at the cost of paying the bills. Strong families mean strong communities and local economies. With the paid family and medical leave tax credit due to expire, my bipartisan bill will make it".

The following day, March 26, 2025, she discussed challenges faced by witnesses who inform congressional committee work. She noted: "Witnesses inform our committee work in Congress, yet it requires significant resources to travel from #WA03 to D.C. Obstacles like finding childcare, time off work, or affordable travel make it harder for normal people to speak on the issues affecting their lives."

In a subsequent tweet posted moments later on March 26th, she provided additional information with a link for further learning: "Learn more: https://t.co/C3mQ2DQqGe".
