VANCOUVER, Wash. — In a lumber town, home to just under 300 people, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez spoke before residents at a candidate forum at the Grays River Grange, a local chapter of a historic farmers association. It was one of 23 events the Southwest Washington Democrat made on her “Freedom to Fix $#*%” RV tour just two weeks out from Election Day.
It was the first time in more than 50 years that a sitting member of Congress had attended the forum.
