Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a U.S. Congress member representing Washington's 3rd district, has expressed her concerns about rural education and voting rights through a series of social media posts. On March 26, 2025, Perez highlighted the challenges faced by rural schools in terms of funding and support for trades courses and students needing extra assistance. She stressed the importance of giving teachers more flexibility in their roles rather than complicating their duties by making schools operate like garages. Perez's tweet, in full, stated: "Our nation already vastly underinvests in rural schools, trades courses, and kids who need extra support. We need to give our teachers more latitude to do their jobs and ensure our children don't fall behind – not make their jobs harder by forcing schools to operate like garage".
On March 27, 2025, Perez discussed the political landscape in Washington's 3rd district, emphasizing the area's value on independence and the varied beliefs of its residents. According to Perez, there is no singular political party that adequately represents their community. In a tweet, she stated: "In #WA03, we value independence, know our beliefs don’t always fit in one box, and recognize there’s not a political party that cares about our community like we do. It's why you shouldn't be denied the right to vote for the candidate of your choice just because you aren't".
Perez further urged her constituents to become more informed about these issues by providing a link for additional information on her Twitter account: "Learn more: https://t.co/SlB2Ce6Qu0".
