Election 2024 Politics Gluesenkamp Perez joins Republicans in vote for failed government funding measure

In her tough reelection fight for her southwest Washington U.S. House seat, Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez often touts her willingness to work with Republicans on policy.

She crossed the aisle again this week, one of only three Democrats to back House Speaker Mike Johnson’s measure to fund the federal government on a short-term basis.

That continuing resolution failed on a 202-220 vote as 14 Republicans defied Johnson and joined Democrats opposing the legislation.

The almost unanimous Democratic opposition stemmed from the inclusion of the GOP’s Safeguard America Voting Eligibility Act requiring a person to provide proof they are a U.S. citizen when registering to vote in a federal election.
