As Election Day 2024 slowly approaches, two familiar names are seeking a rematch: Republican Joe Kent of Yacolt and Democratic U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Skamania.
But another Republican candidate has thrown her name in the mix to represent Washington’s 3rd Congressional District: Leslie Lewallen of Camas.
Lewallen, a fifth-generation Washingtonian and former prosecutor who serves on the Camas City Council, said she decided to run for Congress at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
