Executive Briefing

According to reporting by CBS News US Politics, The congresswoman beat Republican state Sen. John Braun in a district President Trump has won three times.

Detailed Factual Report

Washington — Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez won a third term in Washington's 3rd Congressional District, CBS News projected.

Gluesenkamp Perez's victory, in a district President Trump has won three times, comes as she's flexed her independence over party loyalty. Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives in January, with stunning wins across the country .

The congresswoman beat Republican state Sen. John Braun to win reelection in the rural district in the southwestern corner of the state. Braun, the top Republican in the Washington state Senate, was a more mainstream Republican than Gluesenkamp Perez's prior opponent, far-right conservative Joe Kent, who went on to become Mr. Trump's counterterrorism chief before resigning in protest over the Iran war. But Braun, who was endorsed by Mr. Trump, also distanced himself from the president on some issues, including on tariffs, the Iran war and affirming that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

Though Gluesenkamp Perez angered her Democratic colleagues in September by helping Republicans on two party-line procedural votes that were struggling to pass, her win is a relief to Democrats, who needed to hold the highly competitive seat in their quest to retake the House majority.
