Summary
State Senator John Braun, a Republican gunning for Congress, turned heads at a Memorial Day event in Longview—not by campaigning, but by rallying crowds around patriotism and honoring fallen soldiers. He avoided politics entirely, instead urging attendees to live lives worthy of military sacrifice, strengthen communities, and teach younger generations the true meaning of Memorial Day. With just eight people showing up despite rain, Braun’s message resonated quietly but powerfully. His campaign, now backed by former President Donald Trump—a nod to his GOP rival who lost to Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez—could be a game-changer in the August primary. As Gluesenkamp Perez faces internal GOP criticism over her voting record, Braun’s message of unity and sacrifice may just be the ticket to unseat her in Washington’s third district.
