On Thursday Democrat Carolyn Long picked up an endorsement from Michael Cortney, one of the three Republicans who ran for Congress in southwest Washington during the primaries.
  If you've been reading your Slogs like you're supposed to, you know Long took second in the primary and is now running a surprisingly tight race against Republican incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler. Cortney's endorsement might help put Long over the edge. In the August primary, Cortney...

VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Democrats see new opportunity in a southwest Washington congressional district as the party looks to make gains in a section of this blue state that has been out of reach to them for years.
Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler was first elected to the 3rd Congressional District in 2010, and she won her last two elections with more than 60 percent of the vote. But a strong primary showing by Democrat Carolyn Long, a political science professor...

More than a month after a seven-way primary in the 3rd Congressional District, Democrat Carolyn Long has finally picked up an endorsement from one of the vanquished challengers — a Republican.
Long earned the endorsement of Republican rival Michael Cortney in the November general election, where she faces incumbent Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground.
At this point, no other of the eliminated candidates — Republican Earl Bowerman and Democrats Dorothy Gasque,...

Carolyn Long, Democratic Party candidate for Washington’s 3rd congressional district, sat down with KATU's Deb Knapp to talk one-on-one about some of the big issues facing the state.
  You can learn more about Long on her campaign’s website.
We're asking candidates to complete a questionnaire with the same questions as the on-camera interview, plus some additional questions about themselves and their positions. We will post that in this story when it...

Before the August primary in Washington, the race for Congress in the southwest corner of the state was not attracting national attention.
There were a couple of good reasons for that. Trump won the state’s 3rd Congressional District by seven points, and incumbent Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler had been leading primary opponents by 20-point margins since 2012, thanks largely to a redistricting negotiation friendly to Republicans. Though Democrats were thirsty for a big blue...

Once again Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, is silent about this president being implicated in campaign finance violations. She has been silent about all the abhorrent anti-democratic policies and enough is enough! Taking children away from parents at the border, siding with a hostile foreign power, and — oh, forget it!
Herrera Beutler’s silence is complicity plain and simple. I urge everyone to support Carolyn Long for the 3rd Congressional District. She will put...

Carolyn Long is having another in-person town hall at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Veterans Memorial Museum in Chehalis. She has already had over 30 in-person town halls across our district and she welcomes everyone to attend.
Come and meet her, ask your questions, and share your concerns about our district. She sincerely wants to put people over politics and wants to work with all of us to find solutions to the problems facing our district. 
Some of you may think you will not vote...

Carolyn Long is a dynamic new voice and force to represent us in the U.S. House of Representatives.
She has conducted over 30 town hall meetings in which she met with 3rd District folks face-to-face to hear their concerns. Our current congresswoman opted for the telephone meeting type. Pretty lame and impersonal outreach, in our opinion.
Rep. Jaime Herrera-Beutler voted for the Trump tax cut, which gives 83 percent of benefits to the top 1 percent. When lots of folks are struggling,...

Let me tell you about last week’s Town Meeting with Carolyn Long.
I sort of felt like I had made her up. You know… fantasized a person who could be the perfect candidate to run for office against our current representative to Congress. And there she was last Saturday in Ilwaco — Carolyn Long at a town meeting talking to 40 or 50 of us, not only answering our questions but explaining some of the whys and wherefores about our broken system of checks and...
