NRCC Statement on John Braun Winning WA-03 Debate

October 8, 2026

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) issued the following statement on John Braun’s decisive victory in the 3rd Congressional District debate against socialist fraud Marie Gluesenkamp Perez:

“Fraud Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s working-class costume can’t hide her loyalties. She raised millions alongside Washington Democrats while staying silent on their 9.9% income tax and voting against both the bill delivering No Tax on Tips and Overtime and protections for women’s sports. John Braun served 31 years in the submarine force, helped build a company employing 350 people in Chehalis, and led the fight against Olympia’s tax surge. He knows what it takes to make payroll and is running to protect Southwest Washington paychecks.” — NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
