The district was deep Red.

Not deep red. Obama won the district in 2008. The seat has flip-flopped back and forth between Republicans and Democrats since 1994.

Re: The district was deep Red.

In 2018, Jaime Herrera Beutler (R), who is half Mexican, won by just 6%.

Jaime Herrera Beutler (R) faced the same opponent in 2020 and beat her by 13%.

In 2022, MAGA Joe Kent beat Beutler by just 0.5% (1,000 votes) in the Jungle Primary.

Deep Red? Jaime Herrera Beutler is not a conservative. WA 3 shares the north bank of the Columbia River that separates it from Portlandia and there are many libtard pukes that work and play in Portlandia but live across the river in WA 3, no state income tax. Portlandia has no sales tax so tax cheats and libs love the area.
