The moment conservatives in Southwestern Washington have been waiting for is here. On the eve of Washington’s August 4th primary, President Donald Trump issued his Complete and Total Endorsement of State Senator and U.S. Navy veteran John Braun, calling on voters in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District to send a real America-First fighter to Congress — and to finally show the door to one of the House’s most dishonest “moderate” masquerades, Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

This race matters. WA-3 has been a battleground for years, and the people of Southwestern Washington — loggers, farmers, veterans, small business owners, working families — deserve a representative who actually reflects their values. Right now, they don’t have one. President Trump is making sure they know it.

Who Is Marie Gluesenkamp Perez — And Why Does Her Record Stink?

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has spent considerable energy crafting an image as a pragmatic, working-class Democrat — an auto shop owner from rural Washington who supposedly isn’t like those coastal elites. The legacy media has eaten it up. But the record tells a very different story, and President Trump called it out directly.

MGP voted against the largest tax relief package in a generation, a bill that put real money back in the pockets of American workers and families. She has consistently aligned herself with the radical wing of her party on the issues that matter most to rural and working-class Washingtonians. Consider what her voting record and public positions reflect:

• Open Borders: MGP has repeatedly voted against strong border security measures, siding with the open-borders lobby over the safety of her own constituents.
• Second Amendment Attacks: She has supported gun control legislation that would chip away at the constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners throughout the district.
• Radical Social Agenda: Her alignment with House Democratic leadership means she carries water for policies that the vast majority of WA-3 voters flatly reject — including biological males competing in women’s sports and aggressive gender ideology pushed into schools and communities.
• Rural Healthcare: Perhaps most damaging for her district, MGP has been on the wrong side of efforts to protect and expand rural healthcare access — a life-or-death issue in a district where the nearest hospital can be a long drive away.

This is not a moderate. This is a rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi’s and Hakeem Jeffries’ agenda dressed up in flannel. The people of Southwestern Washington deserve better than a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and President Trump is making sure voters understand exactly what they’re dealing with before they cast their ballots.

John Braun: A Veteran, A Leader, An America-First Fighter

John Braun isn’t just a politician. He is a proud U.S. Navy veteran who has already demonstrated his commitment to public service both in uniform and in the Washington State Senate, where he has built a reputation as a principled conservative who fights for his constituents — not for D.C. special interests.

President Trump highlighted exactly why Braun is the right man for this moment. In Congress, John Braun will:

• Cut taxes and slash burdensome regulations that strangle small businesses and kill jobs in rural Washington
• Unleash American energy dominance — critical for a district where timber, agriculture, and energy industries form the backbone of the local economy
• Secure the border and stop migrant crime — because no community in America should have to suffer the consequences of the Biden-era open border disaster
• Defend the Second Amendment without apology or compromise
• Support the military and veterans — a commitment Braun understands personally, having worn the uniform himself
• Promote Made in the U.S.A. and fight to bring manufacturing and good-paying jobs back to American workers
• Prioritize clean air, clean water, and clean soil for the communities of Southwestern Washington

This is what an America-First agenda looks like in practice — not the hollow talking points of a Democrat who flies back to Washington D.C. and votes with Chuck Schumer and the squad every single time it counts.

Braun’s background in the State Senate has given him real legislative experience and a proven track record of advancing pro-growth, pro-worker policies at the state level. He knows how to build coalitions, how to fight for rural communities, and how to stand firm under pressure. Those are exactly the qualities needed in the U.S. House of Representatives right now, as President Trump works to advance his historic second-term agenda and needs reliable allies on Capitol Hill who won’t fold the moment the D.C. media mob comes calling.

The Stakes in WA-3 Could Not Be Higher

Washington’s 3rd Congressional District has long been competitive, and flipping this seat is a critical piece of expanding the House majority and giving President Trump the legislative firepower to deliver on the full America-First agenda — from extending and expanding tax cuts, to completing the border wall, to rolling back the regulatory state that has crushed American industry for decades.

Every seat matters. Every vote matters. The radical left knows this, which is why they have poured resources into propping up MGP’s phony moderate image cycle after cycle. Don’t be fooled. The endorsement from President Trump — who has an unmatched track record of identifying fighters who deliver for the American people — is a signal that John Braun is the real deal.
