Former U.S. Congresswoman from Hawaii and Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has endorsed Iraq War veteran Joe Kent in his U.S. House run for the 3rd Congressional District in Washington State.

Gabbard and Kent share non-interventionist foreign policy beliefs, both having served their country and seen the senselessness of the military-industrial complex’s war machine first hand.

“President Biden, Pelosi, and Perez’s policies of open borders have led to a crime and drug epidemic that is killing people and making us less safe. My friend Joe Kent is a fighter. He’s dedicated his life to ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people and our country. With your vote, Joe is going to go to Washington and work tirelessly to secure the border and bring you and your loved ones peace of mind,” Gabbard said in her endorsement of Kent.
