VANCOUVER, Wash. (KATU) — House Speaker Mike Johnson is hitting the campaign trail Thursday, visiting Southwest Washington with the Republican party’s nominee for the state’s Third Congressional District, U.S. House John Braun.
Johnson’s visit is part of Republicans’ push to oust the incumbent candidate, Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, and flip Washington’s highly-contested third congressional district.
Braun and Gluesenkamp Perez both advanced to the general election after securing about 40% of the primary vote in Tuesday’s election.
