[constituency_baseline] District summary: Washington's 3rd Congressional District encompasses the southernmost portion of Western Washington, spanning Lewis, Pacific, Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania, and a small portion of southern Thurston counties. With approximately 788,000 residents, it is a purple district (Cook PVI R+5) that voted for Trump three times but has been represented by Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez since her 2022 upset victory over MAGA Republican Joe Kent. The district has a median household income of $90,428 — well above the national median — and a poverty rate of 9.33%. The population is 75% White (Non-Hispanic) and 11.7% Hispanic, with only 8.88% foreign-born residents and a 96% citizenship rate. The economy is anchored by timber and wood products, agriculture (dairy, berries, nursery stock), manufacturing, healthcare (PeaceHealth, Kaiser), and a growing port/logistics sector in Clark County (Vancouver). It is car-dependent: 71.2% drive alone to work, only 0.8% use public transit. The district blends rural logging communities, small agricultural towns, and the suburban Vancouver area — which functions as part of the Portland, Oregon metro economy. The median home value is $474,300 and the homeownership rate is 69.2%.

Voted yea on H.Res. 878 (Resolution Disapproving of the Behavior of Representative Jesús 'Chuy' García) on 2025-11-18: Gluesenkamp Perez forced a privileged resolution rebuking fellow Democrat Chuy Garcia for 'election subversion' — timing his retirement so only his chief of staff could file. The resolution passed 236-183 with only 23 Democrats supporting. Six of seven fellow Washington Democrats voted against it. The move, coming the same week she crossed party lines to end the shutdown, cemented her reputation as a Democrat willing to publicly break with her caucus and drew praise from clean-government advocates and scorn from party loyalists.

Voted yea on H.R. 7567 (Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 (Farm Bill) — On Passage) on 2026-04-30: Gluesenkamp Perez was one of 14 Democrats to support the Farm Bill (224-200). She introduced the bipartisan No Capital Gains Tax on Family Farms Act with Rep. Thomas Massie the same day. Her district includes significant agricultural areas and she serves on the Agriculture Committee. The bill preserved SNAP cuts from the OBBB — affecting food-insecure families in her 9.33% poverty-rate district — but included key provisions for timber counties, dairy farmers, and rural schools that she championed.

Voted yea on H.R. 7147 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026 — On Passage) on 2026-01-22: Gluesenkamp Perez was one of only 7 Democrats to fund DHS including ICE. She defended her vote as ensuring Congress maintained oversight of ICE. Her Vancouver office was subsequently vandalized with messages like 'You funded ICE, which is killing American citizens.' She then voted again to reopen DHS in March 2026 as one of only 3 Democrats, with Trump calling her a 'Radical Left Extremist' despite her funding votes — illustrating the impossible triangulation of a moderate in a polarized district.

Voted yea on H.R. 5371 (Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 — Ending the 43-Day Government Shutdown) on 2025-11-12: Gluesenkamp Perez was one of only 6 House Democrats to vote with Republicans to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. She explained: 'Watching my friends on food benefits struggling to feed their kids. This is not — it's discouraging to see human suffering confused with political leverage.' Her district's SNAP recipients and furloughed federal workers needed the government reopened. 206 Democrats voted Nay. The same evening, she filed a privileged resolution to rebuke fellow Democrat Chuy Garcia, sparking a Democratic civil war.

Voted nay on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment) on 2025-07-03: Gluesenkamp Perez voted with all 212 Democrats against the bill, calling it 'one of the largest explosions of our deficit ever.' The NRCC hammered her for voting against the bill's No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and Social Security tax cut provisions. However, the bill raised the SALT deduction cap to $40,000 — relevant for her district's $474,300 median home values — and she co-chairs the Blue Dog Coalition that had offered a 'fiscally-responsible proposal.' Constituent pressure from both sides (SALT relief vs. Medicaid cuts) and the NRCC targeting illustrate the cross-pressure.

She called it 'common sense to folks in Southwest Washington.' The vote drew fierce backlash: she was booed at her April 2025 town hall in Vancouver. Ten months later, she voted against the successor SAVE America Act after constituent outrage, making this one of the most politically costly votes of her career.

Voted yea on S. 5 (Laken Riley Act — On Passage) on 2025-01-22: Gluesenkamp Perez was one of 46 House Democrats to join all 217 Republicans in passing mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants charged with theft or violent crimes. Her district has only 8.88% foreign-born residents and 96% citizenship rate — immigration enforcement has limited direct impact on most constituents. The vote, along with her co-introduction of the Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act, established her as a border-security hawk and positioned her for reelection in a Trump+5 district.

Voted yea on H.R. 6126 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 — On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass) on 2024-02-06: Gluesenkamp Perez voted to send $17.6 billion in military aid to Israel, breaking with many progressive Democrats. Her top contributor AIPAC gave $41,400 in the 2024 cycle. Constituents later confronted her at multiple town halls over the rising civilian death toll in Gaza, and letters to the editor accused her of 'funding genocide.' The vote aligned with donor interest (Pro-Israel industry contributed $61,244) but generated sustained constituent backlash.

She argued 'expansions of student debt forgiveness need to be matched dollar-for-dollar with investments in career & technical education.' Her district has only 28.9% bachelor's degree attainment — below the national average — and her blue-collar constituency largely did not hold student debt, making the vote constituent-aligned even as it enraged national progressive activists who left one-star Yelp reviews on her auto shop.
