Fox News
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a Democrat elected to serve in Washington's 3rd congressional district, said Monday that rural Democrats are an "endangered species."
"We need to start running rural candidates and we need to start running candidates who work in the trades if we want to be relevant in those places anymore. I mean, you know, rural Democrats are almost an endangered species now. And I think we need to take a real hard look at why that is and how to right that ship. You know rural voices are critical to an America that’s functioning, delivering the same quality of life and resources to our kids that we had," Gluesenkamp Perez said.

Perez defeated Republican Joe Kent in Washington's 3rd Congressional District.
