Joe Kent (born 1980) is an American far-right political candidate[2][3] and former officer of the U.S. Army.[2][3]
After defeating incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler in the primary, Kent was the Republican nominee in the 2022 election for Washington's 3rd congressional district. He ultimately lost to Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in an upset.[4] During his campaign, Kent favorably cited the work of white supremacist writer Sam Francis and promoted various conspiracy theories, including the claim that the COVID-19 vaccines are "experimental gene therapy".
He announced his candidacy in the 2024 congressional election for the same seat,[5] receiving an early endorsement by the Washington State Republican Party (WSRP).[6]
He is the widower of Shannon M. Kent, a United States Navy senior chief petty officer and cryptologic technician who was deployed to Syria and killed in the 2019 Manbij bombing. He considers himself a non-interventionist, citing his military experience and the death of his wife.
