GOP House Candidate’s Local Bridge Expert Faces Election Charges
HuffPost
Man in Washington House candidate Joe Kent‘s campaign video faces accusation of lying in order to run for the statehouse.
How to deal with the aging Interstate 5 bridge connecting Vancouver, Washington, with Portland, Oregon, has long been a big issue in Pacific Northwest politics.
So it made sense Joe Kent, a Republican candidate for Washington’s third congressional district now represented by freshman Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.), would feature on his website an interview with a local resident about the bridge.
But the man in the video has also been charged with violating a state law by lying about his residence to run for a seat in the state legislature, which the Perez campaign says undercuts his credibility.
“While Marie is bringing back major infrastructure wins for the district that were years in the making, Joe Kent is busy posting conspiracy theories online all day and using people accused of fraud as validators for his warped online worldview,” said Tim Gowen, Perez’s campaign manager.
“The voters want someone who will deliver, not spend his time angry on the internet.”
