Today is filing day in WA, and I’m proud to officially throw my hat in the WA-03 congressional race. I invite SW Wa voters to join me, because there is too much at stake to repeat the mistakes of 2022!
Joe has more in common w MGP than SW WA voters. They both want big government involvement, they’re both from Portland and they both voted for Bernie Sanders. The voters have already decided he’s not who they want in Congress.
I'm running for Congress because Marie Perez and I have some big disagreements about the problems facing Southwest Washington.
Support my campaign at .
The homeless population is continuing to rise in Washington state. The answer is not to throw money at the problem by building new houses, we have to address mental health and substance abuse issues.
.
Progressive Perez impersonates a moderate when she's here in Washington State, but brags about being a member of ANTIFA while talking to New York donors. We deserve someone who represents Southwest Washington in DC, that's why I'm running for Congress.
Under the guidance of these two great leaders, the number of strong, Republican women in Congress increased. With their support, it will continue to grow this November!
I couldn't understand why
@RepMGP
wouldn't stand against the acts of terror perpetrated by Hamas, but now it's clear. She is accepting money from pro-Hamas supporters. Clearly campaign donations mean more to her than standing with America's ally.
Thank you to Rob McKenna for another strong endorsement. We are proud of the coalition we are building and looking forward to working together to bring Southwest Washington to Congress!
Our son’s freshman football game was canceled tonight because of a shooting at the school parking lot. Crime and violence are on the rise. Our kids are not safe and are paying the price for Democrats' soft-on-crime policies.
If Marie Gluesenkamp Perez gets reelected, it will be Groundhog Day for Washingtonians: two more years of sky high prices, drugs flowing through an open border, and soft-on-crime policies. It's time for new leadership!
Those that have lost loved ones to fentanyl may have a different opinion than you,
@RepMGP
. Every day at the border, fentanyl is pouring in and making our communities less safe. Fentanyl overdoses increased 500% in Clark County.
I am tired of worrying about my kids coming into contact with opioids or wondering whether fentanyl is on the school bus because it's pouring into our country from every direction. Why is it so hard for D.C. elites to act when people are dying in front of us?
I’m an everyday SW Washingtonian who was driven to action during COVID-19. I fight for my conservative values in and out of the city council chambers, and that’s why I’m running for Congress – because we need a real person who understands our problems to fight for us in Congress.
Prices have risen by 17.9% since Biden took office. As much as the media would like you to believe inflation is down, year-over-year inflation under Biden has averaged 5.7%. Thanks,

“Because she is a strong, articulate candidate in her own right, The Columbian’s Editorial Board believes Leslie Lewallen is the best Republican candidate in the race.”
This morning, I grabbed coffee from Bigfoot Coffee Roasters in Stevenson. Small Businesses like this are the backbone of our economy and in Congress, I will always fight for them.
It is unthinkable that Washingtonians are expected to front the bill for Biden and Governor Inslee's anti-American energy independence policies. We need relief now and lowering prices will be my top priority in Congress.
WA state now has the second highest gas prices in the US with a gallon of regular at $5.036/gallon. CA is the highest at $5.175/gallon.
Skamania County has the highest gas prices in WA state with a gallon of regular at $5.346. In Snohomish County, a gallon of regular averages
Such a pleasure to attend the Yakima Lincoln Day Dinner and sit with the WA GOP's newly elected chairman, Jim Walsh. It was a joy to be surrounded by so many Washingtonians who believe we need a better path forward for our great state.
WA-03 needs a representative in DC who will listen, lead, and deliver for our community. For far too long, Portland Perez has let us down. Help support my run for Congress and I will ensure no one gets left behind! ⬇️⬇️.
I’m thankful for the the trail blazed by women like frmr Rep Jennifer Dunn in the 90s. Now, as I’m running for Congress, I know I wouldn’t be here w/out the mentorship, guidance & leadership of those who went before me and the support of incredible groups like
@WinningForWomen

Joe Kent’s best shot at winning this seat was in 2022 and he lost. I am the only Republican in this race who can defeat Portland Perez and I am ready to be the voice and fight for the people of Southwest WA!
#TeamLeslie
One of Rep Perez’s 1st votes in Congress opposed securing the border. She’s completely out of touch w/ the avg voter, and WA-03 deserves a leader who always prioritizes the security of our country - not just when it’s convenient.

If you're looking for a candidate with strong conservative values -- you won't find them with Joe Kent. Those values are the foundation of my mission, and I plan to act on them!
#TeamLeslie
Such a pleasure to join the SW Washington Federated Republican Women's Club ice cream social. These ladies understand that Washington is on the wrong track and we're ready to jump in the fight to get it back.
Had a blast meeting new friends at the Vancouver waterfront this afternoon! People across the district are hungry for an alternative to Joe Kent. We need a Republican who can WIN in November!
I am proud to sign the
@taxreformer
pledge and I promise to serve Washingtonians best interests and safeguard our hard-earned tax dollars when I’m elected in November.
I am so encouraged by the leaders in Washington state who are committed to restoring law and order, enacting commonsense policies and working together to find real solutions for real people. Proud to be fighting alongside them!
Last weekend we launched my campaign for WA-03. I am proud to stand up and fight for the needs of Southwest Washington and am ready to take that fight to Congress. If you missed it, check out our launch video here:
I am proud to have cut costs for Camas and reduced unnecessary expenditures for the city. I plan to do the same thing in Congress to save Southwest Washingtonians money and keep the government's hands out of their paychecks!
Joe Kent’s ideas for Speaker: Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan
Congress doesn’t need angry, chaotic, dangerous weirdos like Joe Kent calling the shots and controlling our country.
Congress needs normal people who want to fix what’s broken.
Washington families have had enough of Portland Perez and Democrats radical agenda.
Joe Kent had his chance and LOST, and will lose again.
Washingtonians deserve a voice who will fight for them and the 3rd Congressional District. I can and I will!
Progressive Perez has always wanted to make Southwest Washington into a new Portland, but a new poll proves that even Portland doesn't want to be like Portland:
I'm tired of Democrats dancing around the issues that are affecting our lives every day. This isn't a game to me, I am a fifth generation Washingtonian and I am raising my family here. It's time to stop ignoring the real issues and make change for our state.
Tomorrow is the day! We are so excited to be joined by Tiffany Smiley, John Carlson, and so many more who believe in our vision for Southwest Washington.
Once again, the poser Marie Perez is caught presenting an image of herself that is different from reality. WA-03 deserves a sane, honest leader to fight for the issues that matter most to SW WA voters!

I am proud to have been a fighter my whole life. From my time as a prosecuting attorney, to working for Camas on the City Council, I will always fight for what I believe in:
President Biden has been having secret talks to breach four of the hydroelectric dams along the Snake River. This action would significantly cut back on the amount of renewable energy that is created for Southwest Washington and put hundreds of jobs in danger.
It was an honor to meet
@RepSteel
. I’ve always admired her hard word and dedication to addressing the needs of her constituents. She reminds me of a Margaret Thatcher quote: “If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman!”
Fentanyl is the number one killer for Americans ages 18-45 and yet,
@RepMGP
thinks nobody stays awake at night concerned about the border. She is wrong for Southwest Washington.
Crime is a serious issue in Washington and WA-03's proximity to Portland is extra reason for concern. 80% of Portland residents say crime has risen and 90% are dissatisfied with their state's public safety - we need to be tough on crime now more than ever:
Democrats are intent on pigeonholing women into only caring about certain "women's issues" and I have had enough. If Biden wants to speak to a demographic he's been losing, he should start talking about inflation, the opioid epidemic, or the homeless crisis.
“We run to win, then we win to govern.” Some great insights from
@tomemmer
. Unfortunately, for some Members of Congress, that message seems to have been missed.
We have a crisis at our southern border, an opioid epidemic and an economy that is hurting everyday Washingtonians. The status quo is clearly failing WA voters, and I’m running for Congress to help fight the woke policies that are holding us back. Join me!
What an honor to be endorsed by Sam Reed! I have looked up to his work ethic and dedication to our ideals and will work to be a member of Congress he and our community can be proud of.

#TrumpVerdict
last week. Biden's DOJ is deeply politicized and every American should be concerned. Listen to the full interview below 👇
What an amazing event! We had volunteers, grassroots leaders and strong Republicans in our community show up to support our great state. This is a campaign for the people of Washington State and we will fight to get the representation we deserve every step of the way.
Portland Progressive Perez is the
#1
most vulnerable Democrat in the House this year, and I am the only Republican in this race who can beat her. I encourage the voters of WA-03 to join me - there’s too much at stake to repeat the mistakes of ‘22!
This is Student Resource Officer Mayhugh, and his was one of the SRO positions I helped save. Keeping our children and loved ones safe in our schools is a huge priority for me.
Along with inflation, unemployment rose in WA in December. Bureaucrats are so out of touch with reality that they aren't doing anything to address the issues that matter most to us. I meet with voters every day and know that the economy is a top concern.
Great evening at the Mainstream Republicans’ Cascade Conference in Yakima. I enjoyed meeting so many Washingtonians, Republican leaders, and hearing from those who are tired of Biden’s failed policies and ready for conservative leadership.

@EspositoforNY
is exactly the type of commonsense law and order representative we need. She is a testament to the type of high caliber candidates WFW vets and supports, and I look forward to working w/ her in Congress!
It was great meeting with

We are working tirelessly to grow and expand the House Majority and deliver results for the American people.
It’s hard to have an “active and robust debate” when your organization only represents one side of the conversation. If you want federal funding then get back to objective reporting.
Voting is a huge priority for me, and I’ve always make sure my children were a part of the process from a young age. It’s never too early to start teaching them how to be responsible citizens!
Thank you Firmly Planted Action for hosting last night’s candidate forum! It was an honor to hear from so many voters and share my vision for Southwest Washington.
Thank you to
@RiponSociety
for featuring me as a candidate to watch. This race has the potential to change the trajectory of the nation. Read more about why I'm fighting for WA-03 here:
The best part of campaigning is all of the amazing people you meet on the trail! I’ve had a great time door knocking throughout Southwest Washington this week!
It was a great night with the Lower Columbia Republicans United. I appreciate everyone who came out and supported myself and
@reichert4gov
. It’s critical to have the right candidates on the ballot in Nov - there’s too much riding on this election to repeat the mistakes of 2022!
We will win!
“Lewallen touches upon many themes that are common among Republican candidates. That can make it difficult to differentiate herself from Kent, but she does so effectively: “I have been delivering for the people in SW Washington while he has been talking.”

“Because she is a strong, articulate candidate in her own right, The Columbian’s Editorial Board believes Leslie Lewallen is the best Republican candidate in the race.”
I had a great time in Longview this weekend, exploring local businesses, meeting new friends and sharing my vision for Southwest Washington.
I am honored to support and work with our leaders to make Washington an amazing place to call home!
Even President Biden knows that his Inflation Reduction Act was deceptive. Gluesenkamp Perez supported the bill, opting to raise your taxes $20 billion. Doesn't take an economist to know that's not a reduction.
The Supreme Court’s decisions highlight the significance of having a commander-in-chief who shows strength and success instead of failure and weakness. Someone who can appoint the best and brightest minds to the U.S Supreme Court.
Thank you President Trump! 🇺🇸
The right to protest does not equal the right to destroy property and take over buildings. Schools have an obligation to uphold the rule of law for the sake of other students on campus!
Join me in praying for the Israeli people 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 It’s time to show strength in the world. We must stand up and condemn this terrorist attack against our ally.
The election is quickly approaching and I have so much gratitude for the people of Southwest Washington! If you want to send me to DC, chip in today >>>
It’s so fun to run into people around town that I connected with on my race for City Council who are now avid Leslie for Washington supporters! 💪
#TeamLeslie
My heart continues to break as we learn more about the atrocities happening in Israel. Make no mistake, the Biden administration is complicit in the Hamas terrorist attacks. First the Biden administration emboldened the evils of the world with their failed Afghanistan withdrawal.
It doesn’t matter who the Democratic nominee is — extreme Democrats like Gluesenkamp Perez are responsible for 4 years of a wide-open southern border, skyrocketing inflation and out-of-control prices.
I am passionate about our kids' education because I saw the damage that was done to mine during COVID. Our kids are experiencing a 2+ year leaning delay and I'm running for Congress to work on addressing those issues. Our kids are our future, we must equip them for that role.
President Biden is negotiating with terrorists and withholding vital information about the safety of service members from the American public. His weakness on the world stage is putting us all in danger and not one Democrat is holding him accountable.
Marie Glusenkamp Perez faces an uphill battle and she knows it. She has been impersonating a moderate, but I will be the representative that actually speaks for the people of Southwest Washington.
I'm tired of Democrats dancing around the issues that are affecting our lives every day. This isn't a game to me, I am a fifth generation Washingtonian and I am raising my family here. It's time to stop ignoring the real issues and make change for our state.
Four years ago, we had peace in the Middle East for the first time in my adult life under President Trump. Now, under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Israel is fighting for their lives and the Middle East is so unstable, airlines are refusing to fly there.
The delayed government shutdown is just another example of how partisan politics get in the way of serving people. How is this helping the people of Southwest Washington? We need pragmatic problem solvers to keep Congress focused on bettering people's lives.
Putting food back on the shelves and pinching pennies after filling up the family car with gas is not a success. I am tired of skyrocketing prices, and I know you are, too. From City Council, we've been doing what we can to cut costs, why hasn't Congress done the same?
The gnomes are back! Excited to keep this fun tradition going. Keep an eye on my social feeds - maybe your gnome will make an appearance too! 👀

#gnomesofSWWA
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Democrats are playing politics with the impending shutdown. I understand the need to prioritize and reorganize funding structures, unlike Perez, I also believe that we need to make structural changes so that Americans don't have to worry...
I have worked to cut costs and reduce wasteful spending in the Camas City Council. We must keep as much money as possible from your hard-earned paychecks and just as I have done in the Camas City Council, I will work to cut costs and reduce wasteful spending.
