Marie Gluesenkamp Perez's position on Washington's income tax as Republicans make the issue a centerpiece of the campaign in the 3rd Congressional District. Senate Minority Leader John Braun, who is running for Congress, argues the income tax represents a major affordability issue for Washington taxpayers and criticizes his opponent's record on tax policy. The report also reviews statements from the Republican National Committee regarding Gluesenkamp Perez's policy positions and discusses repeated efforts by The Center Square to request an interview with the congresswoman regarding the income tax and other campaign issues.
