Full profile
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a Democrat and the incumbent, is running for another term representing Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. She is one of nine candidates in the contested race, which will appear in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election.
Race and election date
The contest is for a seat in the U.S. House representing Washington’s 3rd District, also known as WA-3. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
The field includes four Republicans, three Democrats and two independents. Perez is the only candidate identified as the incumbent. A candidate’s party label shows the affiliation under which that person is running, but it does not establish the candidate’s views on individual issues.

Policy and campaign finance records
There are no documented policy positions on file for Perez or any of the other eight candidates. That means the candidate roster does not establish where any of them stand on particular federal issues. Their views should not be inferred from party affiliation alone.
Campaign finance totals are also not on file for any candidate. The listed categories are funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand. Without figures in those categories, the candidates cannot yet be compared by fundraising, spending or remaining campaign money.
What comes next
The key process questions are whether the candidate field changes before the general election and whether biographies, policy positions or campaign finance totals are added to official records. Those updates would give voters more information for comparing the nine candidates before Nov. 3, 2026.
The current roster establishes the basic structure of the race: one U.S. House seat, nine candidates, three stated political affiliations and one identified incumbent. It does not establish issue-by-issue differences among the candidates.
