Before running for Congress, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez ran an auto and machine repair shop. She’s a working-class mom who stepped up to make a difference — and she’s delivered.
Winning this seat wasn’t supposed to be possible. The political experts said she couldn’t do it. But Marie proved them wrong by flipping her district from red to blue, and then holding on to it in the next election.
Marie showed Democrats how to win in rural America. Now, we’re recruiting more blue-collar leaders just like her to build on that success across the country.
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.
