The only place the Debate video is available is the Book of Face, apologies in advance for that.

I’ve watched the entire thing a couple of times this morning.
If you live in the 3rd Congressional District in SW WA State, please watch as much of this debate as you can, and then share that Tweet or FB link with everyone you know who also lives in the District, to listen to the two people who are seeking their vote in just over 8 weeks from today.
I’m not just a supporter of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez for the WA03 US House seat on Nov 8th, I’m a huge supporter of someone who reads and learns and can speak on subjects of great interest to the nation at large, and this Debate covers a large number of such subjects.
Before listening to this Debate, I was already a strong supporter of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez; after listening to it, I am an even stronger supporter.
Joe Kent apparently spent the week leading up to this event listening to non-stop Fox News programming, and some of it appears to have been recorded for him months ago (for instance, the baby formula shortages, which were spiking in May of 2022 & President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to quickly produce formula & the shortage faded in July 2022).
Joe Kent doesn’t present any ability to speak extemporaneously and merely speaks in memorized sound bites, most of which I’ve heard from the mouths of the people willing to go on shows like Tucker Carlson on Fox News and some of the creepier conservative internet channels like OANN (One America News Network, which charges $5 a month for access to it monthly).
Kent also claimed that Marie was “fixing leaf blowers to assault police with” in Portland, Oregon at her automobile repair shop. Leaf blowers.
Again, please watch the Debate and form your own opinion on the suitability of one of these people to become the next US House Representative from the sw corner of Washington State.
I am pretty sure that like me, you will find that person to be Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

I’ve spent my life in this District and the past 12 years under a Republican US House Rep who (over 80 times) voted against the PPACA/Obamacarek for that entire time was torturous.
For the first time in over a decade when we can put a (D) in this seat?
In a year when keeping the Speaker’s Gavel in the hands of Nancy Pelosi is NOT a certitude?
We need to keep & win every single US House seat possible.
I believe that WA03 is now one of the Open US House seats within our grasp.

This The Cascadia Advocate story says Perez campaign Sept 2, 2022 polling results are “incredibly encouraging”:
https://www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2022/09/democratic-congressional-hopeful-marie-perez-we-can-beat-joe-kent-win-wa-03.html
“In an initial head-to-head ballot test, before voters are primed with any additional information, Gluesenkamp Perez leads Kent, 47% to 45%, with eight percent of voters undecided,” Perez’s campaign said in a release.
“These results are incredibly encouraging and show that people are tired of extremists hijacking Washington. They want their representative to understand their everyday challenges and are willing to work with anyone to solve them,” Gluesenkamp Perez said in a statement sent to the press.
“As a small business owner of a repair shop, I know first-hand that government is often in the way and that crime is out of control. I’ll work to streamline bureaucracies and secure investments for things like job training programs to give people real skills to get good jobs, so small businesses like mine can finally solve worker shortages.”
The poll was conducted for the Gluesenkamp Perez campaign by the Democratic-aligned firm Expedition Strategies from August 25th-30th, 2022. 400 likely general election voters participated. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 4.9%.
