Perez and Braun advance to general election in Washington's 3rd District

Incumbent Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Republican John Braun secured the top spots in Washington's all-party primary. The Democratic incumbent will defend her seat in what is considered a key House battleground. John Braun, who serves as the State Senate Republican Leader, received an endorsement from Trump during the campaign. Media projected Braun and Perez would face off in November after they emerged from a crowded field. The race is widely viewed as a toss-up election that could determine control of the House. Braun's advancement sets up a high-stakes challenge against one of the most vulnerable Democrats in the chamber.
