TAXING MARIE: Perez Stays Quiet on New WA Income Tax

April 23, 2026

Last month, Washington Democrats signed a new income tax into law, and Fraud Marie Gluesenkamp Perez said nothing.

Southwest Washington families know exactly how this works: Democrats start with one group today, then expand it tomorrow. Yet Perez refused to speak up or push back against the extreme tax agenda of her own party.

Her silence is no surprise. Perez already voted for the biggest tax hike since World War IIand voted against saving Washington taxpayers $5,372 by opposing expanded child tax credits, pro-business growth policies, No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and Social Security tax relief.

“Fraud Marie Gluesenkamp Perez stood by silently while Washington Democrats signed a new income tax into law because she’s part of the same tax-and-spend machine. Perez had every chance to oppose this reckless agenda, but she’s silently cheering on the same scam in Washington state. She doesn’t represent Washington families, she represents politicians who think your paycheck belongs to them.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
