Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Chooses Higher Taxes Over Working Families

July 8, 2026

Washington Democrats forced through a new 9.9% state income tax, and out of touch Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is showing Southwest Washington exactly where she stands: with the tax-and-spend radicals making life more expensive.

Perez already voted in Congress against stopping the largest tax hike since World War II, and now Washington Democrats are opening the door to a 9.9% income tax that punishes success, threatens small businesses, drives investment out of Washington, and makes it even harder for families to afford life in Washington.

“Fraud Marie Gluesenkamp Perez voted to hammer families with the largest tax hike since World War II, and she stood by while Washington Democrats marched ahead with a 9.9% income tax that punishes workers and small businesses. Perez isn’t fighting for Southwest Washington, she’s helping Democrats pick their pockets.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
