The two-term Democratic congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is heading into one of the country’s most closely watched contests on Tuesday after national recognition for flipping a Republican seat in 2022.

Representing Washington state’s third district, Gluesenkamp Perez finds herself squeezed between Democrat and progressive Brent Hennrich and Republican state senator John Braun on her right.

There are six other candidates on a single crowded ballot and the top two finishers will advance to the November general election regardless of party.

Democrats are favored to win the House of Representatives in November’s midterm election, but highly contested seats like Gluesenkamp Perez’s will be crucial to securing a majority, and expanding the margin.

Hennrich, who is challenging her in the primary, ran for the same seat in 2022 before standing down, but decided to run again. “I stepped out of this race to unify Democrats to help get Marie through, so we could get rid of our six-term incumbent, Jaime Herrera Beutler,” he said.
