Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

Overview

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez represents Washington's 3rd Congressional District as a Democrat who has cultivated a distinctly moderate voting profile. Her ideological positioning suggests she prioritizes pragmatic governance over strict party-line voting, which is consistent with representing a politically competitive district. Her voting record shows strong support for defense-related measures, with 100% support in that category, while taking more mixed positions on healthcare legislation where she voted in favor only 36% of the time. This pattern suggests she evaluates legislation on an issue-by-issue basis rather than following a consistent partisan approach. The procedural votes in her record show consistent opposition to certain majority party motions, including voting against 'Previous Question' motions and some resolutions, while supporting specific legislative measures through suspension votes. Her willingness to break from party positions on substantive votes reflects her centrist positioning.
