We have great news: Our Blue Dogs co-chair Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has won re-election and will continue her fight to represent working families in Washington!
This victory underscores the importance of having a representative who understands her district and truly represents rural America.
Marie spoke to important issues like restoring shop classes for high school students, and wasn’t afraid to call out her own party for ignoring constituents without a college degree. She took a bipartisan approach in Congress, and highlighted the difference between her “normal” approach and her extreme, bonafide white nationalist opponent.
This victory shows how Democrats can be successful in Trump-friendly districts by speaking to working-class issues and not catering to partisan elites.
Blue Dogs are normal people in Congress who want to get sh*t done. We believe in freedom and we’re fighting to protect yours. We’re pro-America, pro-democracy, and working to pass fiscally responsible policies that benefit everyday, hard-working Americans.
