Seattle University's Institute of Public Service is excited to invite you to a rare afternoon sit-down with the new congresswoman who staged the biggest upset of the 2022 fall congressional elections.

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, or MGP as she is sometimes called, represents the 3rd Congressional District in Southwest Washington. She and her husband are small business owners, operating an auto repair shop. It has been reported that she connects resoundingly with independent and Democratic voters on a wide spectrum, but especially rural and suburban voters.

The regular "Conversations" team will conduct the interview. Dr. Larry Hubbell, immediate past director of the Institute of Public Service and a professor in the Masters of Public Administration program at Seattle University, and Joni Balter, journalist, lecturer and professional-in-residence at Seattle University, will lead a wide-ranging conversation with MGP. 

(One other fun fact: Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is an axe throwing champion, for fun.)

Please sign up quickly and please do not register for more tickets than you expect to use. We will hold this conversation in Oberto Commons in the Sinegal Center for Science and Innovation and seating is limited. Tickets are expected to go quickly. Register here.
