Who is she?
In one of the 2022 midterms’ biggest upsets, Marie won her seat which has been in Republican hands for over a decade. She is a self-described moderate Democrat and a “supporter of both abortion rights and Second Amendment rights”. Marie and her husband own an auto repair shop in Portland, OR. Born in Texas in 1988, she later made the Pacific Northwest her home. Marie earned a degree in economics from Reed College in 2012. This background fuels her commitment to practical solutions and genuine representation for her community.
What’s she saying?
“In Southwest Washington, we have more in common than divides us. As I meet with folks across the wide reaches of our district, I frequently hear about common goals, priorities, and aspirations for our communities – not about divisive partisan politics.”
