Members of the Washington Congressional delegation present Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez with “The Chick.”

Today, as part of longstanding bipartisan Washington congressional delegation tradition, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) received “The Chick” from Rep. Marilyn Strickland (WA-10).

“I’m honored to join such a collaborative and spirited delegation and I’m equally honored to have this gimlet-eyed monstrosity to hang in my office,” said Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez.

About “The Chick”

“The Chick ” was first presented to Rep. Joel Pritchard (WA-01) in 1972 as a gift for his office. He didn’t like the painting, but he hung it on the wall in his office. Then, he re-gifted it to Rep. Norman Dicks (WA-06) in 1976, who re-gifted it to Rep. Mike Lowry (WA-07) in 1979, and so on. 

Now, “The Chick” is passed on to each new member of the delegation with each member’s signature on the back.
