U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez criticized President Donald Trump's war in Iran during a Washington 3rd Congressional District candidate debate, arguing that the conflict has harmed American families, military families and U.S. national security. Facing state Sen. John Braun, Perez questioned his position on the conflict and said she has voted six times against the president's war. She argued that representatives should focus on the economic realities facing their constituents rather than trying to understand the president's thinking. Perez called the war a disaster for American families and questioned whether continued military involvement increases U.S. security and prosperity.
