Summary

Joe Kent is a retired Green Beret who served over 20 years and has completed 11 combat deployments in the Middle East. The veteran is currently running for Washington’s 3rd congressional district, looking to unseat Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler. Kent is a gold star husband — his wife, Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, was killed in action fighting ISIS in Syria on Jan. 16, 2019. He cites this, the disastrous Biden administration, and his belief in an "America First" agenda as what motivated him to run. Despite being relatively new to the political scene, he’s ready to take on the establishment and bring an end to the endless wars. He joins us in-studio to discuss his campaign and why he decided to run for Congress.
