OPB asked Dean Nielsen, a founding partner of CN4, on what could have led to Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s successful reelection campaign:

“On a campaign attack website, Kent decried “woke and weaponized government” and during debates he focused on the need to secure America’s southern border. More often, Gluesenkamp Perez focused on bread-and-butter economic issues without getting enmeshed in such culture war topics, according to longtime Seattle political consultant Dean Nielsen.

“She’s focused on something that a lot of Democrats don’t think is possible,” Nielsen said. “[That] by focusing on working class, economic issues, that you’re gonna win. I think she’s absolutely right, smack on where the Democratic Party needs to move.”
