Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 08/06/2026Trust in congress is at an all time low, and it’s no secret why: This is becoming a body where unelected staff are running the show. People are tired of seeing their representatives freeze up on camera or miss votes because they’re sundowning. 1786227
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 05/06/2026I would like to thank my colleagues for joining me last night in a moment of silence to honor the men who lost their lives at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging mill. 34153
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 01/06/2026Yesterday, I sent a letter to executives at Nippon Dynawave Packaging asking them to clarify their commitment to pay workers during the investigation. These are our friends, our neighbors, our families, and we need to make sure they’re being taken care of. Read the letter below. 2993
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 28/05/2026If you’re not from a trades family or a mill community, it can be hard to understand how devastating this sort of industrial catastrophe is for a mill town like Longview. 19135
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 26/05/2026My gratitude goes to the Longview Fire Department and all the first responders who arrived at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company this morning to respond to the explosion. My heart go out to the families of those killed and injured by this terrible blast. 790
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 26/05/2026Ryderwood loses power at least once a winter and it’s dangerous for members of this 55+ community to go without electricity for an extended period of time. I'm excited that I was able to secure funding for Cowlitz PUD to underground power lines to improve reliability and save money for ratepayers. 11214
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 25/05/2026It’s easy to forget painful things, to make them small or frivolous- but in choosing to come together and remember the sacrifice of fallen soldiers and their families we shore up what makes our country strong. Thanks to everyone who came out and most of all thanks to our fallen and their loved ones. 16112
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 22/05/2026Republicans pulled the war powers resolution today because they knew it would succeed. Pulling a vote against the war in Iran because you know your community opposes it? Pathetic 122448
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 18/05/2026Given that Red Delicious are the worst apples, have you ever wondered why they’re in every school cafeteria? It’s because there’s a list of "approved" apple varieties allowed in schools, and it hasn’t changed since Kmart sold firearms. 844310
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 13/05/2026There's demand everywhere for quality water system workers. We need robust programs to get young people into the sector. Great careers for an essential utility! 2252
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 13/05/2026Specialists will be on-site in Packwood, starting tomorrow May 14th, to help with FEMA applications and to address questions about federal and state assistance. FEMA can help pay for temporary housing, displacement, home repair costs, personal property loss and other disaster-caused expenses. 721
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 11/05/2026It takes a lot of skill, intelligence, and grit to be a lineman. Thank you to the Northwest Line Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee for letting me hang out and see how you train the next generation of lineman. 10131
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 04/05/2026Vote-by-mail is the gold standard for election security and access to representation. Protecting mail-in voting options ensures that all Americans, whether they do shift work, are in the trades, take care of young kids, or live in rural areas, have their ballots counted. tinyurl.com/yckce2xy 21378
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 01/05/2026Glad to see the New York Times has discovered what we already know. Morton’s own Brandy Clark is one of the most talented and amazing song writers working today. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...nytimes.comNashville Appreciates Craft. These Three Are Masters.Writers toil daily to engineer perfect country songs. Shane McAnally, Brandy Clark and Josh Osborne are among the finest — and the most disruptive. 1320
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 01/05/2026It was an honor to speak to the members of the AFRC to recognize the importance of their legacy and dedication to our community. I’ve been so thankful to the timber companies and saw mills in Southwest Washington that have opened their doors to me so I can bring that knowledge with me to DC. 1430
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 29/04/2026We need to look at all different solutions to help folks keep a roof over their heads. I had the opportunity to meet with the @cityofvancouver.bsky.social and folks who rely on the Safe RV Park Program to understand what’s working and what’s not. 2340
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 27/04/2026My office is here to help! We can advocate for you with federal agencies – on things like getting veterans benefits, passports, or your Social Security check. No problem is too small. Just visit: gluesenkampperez.house.gov/casework 2471
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 27/04/2026Thank you so much to the Clark County Sheriff’s office for taking me out for a ride along. It’s an honor to get a chance to see what you’re up against firsthand. Read the full story: tinyurl.com/4ncmssvj 121347

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 24/04/2026Between the cost of lawsuits and a constrained state budget, hatcheries are facing closure. The recreational and subsistence fishing that comes from Steelhead is vital to our community. They cannot become an extinct species. 8101
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 23/04/2026As foreign investors buy up more of our forest land, our community continues to be boxed out of the woods we had access to for generations. Right now, a German royal family controls 7.3% of the land in Wahkiakum County. I am urging two German Princes to reopen regulated hunting access on this land. 8237
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 22/04/2026Surveillance pricing means big corporations buy up your location and income data and know exactly how likely you are to drive to a cheaper store when you’re desperate for kids cough syrup at 2am and they charge you as much money as they can wring out of you. I’m fighting to stop these practices. 14206
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 22/04/2026Right now, only one VA facility nationwide allows veterans who live in their vehicles or RVs the option of secure overnight parking at the VA facility - which provides vets with an option of not driving home that same day. 8153
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 22/04/2026The last thing veterans need after serving their country is to be forced into one-size-fits all housing solutions when they’re trying to build their own home or site their RV. My amendment asks @deptvetaffairs.bsky.social to allow vets to use VA home loans for land to park their mobile home or RV 2148
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 20/04/2026There are 4 MORE DAYS to enter the 2026 Congressional Art Competition! High school students from across #WA03 can enter their artwork highlighting Southwest Washington. The winner will have their art displayed in the U.S. Capitol for a year!

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 20/04/2026WA state regs make it illegal for some daycare teachers to peel a banana - but opening a bag of Cheetos is just fine. Sadly, many states in the country treat serving fruits and vegetables in the same bureaucratic class as making sushi - and the result is more processed food for toddlers. 9145
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 17/04/2026These big boys are driving up food costs for families by gorging on salmon. I’m doing something about it tinyurl.com/mr27j4nz 243606
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 14/04/2026Having self determination and being a people who make things - not just consumers - is what makes us Americans. I’m always inspired by the next generation of the trades workforce as they continue this tradition. #vancouverpublicschools #trades 1130
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 13/04/2026The credibility of Congress is rotting under the weight of unaddressed corruption and sleaze-all four of these Members should save their last shred of dignity and resign. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...nytimes.comPush to Expel Swalwell Could Touch Off Chain Reaction of House Removal Votes 13346
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 12/04/2026This is welcome news for us in Southwest Washington. I’m grateful to federal partners and to our local leaders who are putting in the work to make sure this money lands where it’s needed most. My office stands ready to provide assistance. washingtonstatestandard.com/briefs/trump...washingtonstatestandard.comTrump approves disaster declaration for WA flooding • Washington State StandardPresident Donald Trump has approved opening up funding to deal with the aftermath of historic flooding that hit Washington in December. 641
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 10/04/2026My friends from the City of Washougal. We share the same priorities in getting the 32nd St Rail Crossing project across the finish line and had a great talk about building water system upgrades and ensuring our water utilities and ratepayers don’t have to bear the brunt of PFAS cleanup costs. 130
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 09/04/2026It was an incredible privilege to spend an afternoon with the patriots of the U.S. Coast Guard at Cape Disappointment and Air Station Astoria. 7141
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 07/04/2026The president’s threat to destroy an entire civilization undermines the sacrifices of our military and freedom-loving Iranians. America’s reputation as a world power was built over generations of sacrifice. 22243
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 03/04/2026I get no joy from seeing another secretary sent to the glue factory—Bondi’s dismissal doesn’t change the fact that the Epstein files remain redacted & pedophiles run free We need leaders who will follow the law, release the files,& prosecute offenders—not a reshuffling of deck chairs on the Titanic 12172
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 01/03/2026Our government was not designed to run like a casino. Maybe this gamble pays off in the short term—Ali Khamenei was an SOB—but America’s strength as a superpower has always rested on deterrence and careful, deliberate action when deterrence fails. 45374
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 26/02/2026Many Americans believe Jesus calls us to bear one another’s burdens — Chaplains like Mark take that real seriously. They volunteer their time to make sure our neighbors are spared from facing some of the worst news of their lives alone. 17193
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 24/02/2026My team is heading to Mountaineer country on Wednesday! So come see us in Rainier if you're getting the runaround from federal agencies like the VA or Social Security Administration. 1841
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 23/02/2026Thanks to the Vietnamese Community of Clark County for having me out to join their celebration of the lunar new year! 9114
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 19/02/2026Our fishermen in Southwest Washington have spoken loud and clear—sea lions in the Columbia River are decimating our salmon and steelhead runs. 143453
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 19/02/2026Today, I visited Clark Cowlitz Fire Rescue and the CARES team to hear about how they’re keeping folks out of the ER and caring for our community. Thank you to our local firefighters and first responders for looking out for our neighbors. 1882
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 17/02/2026To my friends at TSA — I know it sucks to work without pay during a shutdown. Hang tough, we’re grateful for you and working hard to restore funding. 8493
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 13/02/2026My provision to bring down costs for mobile home residents is now law! We know that low-cost solutions like mobile home skirting can be a powerful tool to bring energy costs down. Energy policy shouldn't just be focused on people who can afford to spend big on a heat pump or new EV. 20133
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 11/02/2026Call me a perfectionist but if your legislation requires government to provide free photocopy services, you have not written a good piece of legislation. 84345
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 09/02/2026Napavine High School’s ag programs are at capacity, and they need additional space to grow the next generation of farmers and tradespeople. 1680
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 08/02/2026I recently sat down with the Elder Justice Center and Children’s Justice Center in Clark County. These exemplary public servants see the worst of humanity and show up every day to fight for our community. 1792
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 05/02/2026Many first responders in SW Washington have to travel more than 100 miles to attend required trainings. This means more time on the road, less time with family, and less time rooted in their communities. 1760
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez @gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 03/02/2026I, like many of the people I represent, am horrified by recent events in Minnesota and am pushing for a transparent, independent investigation into the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. 89374
