Ever since I was first elected to this seat I have done my very best to serve my home region and our country,\u201d Beutler said in a statement obtained by The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough my campaign came up short this time, I\u2019m proud of all we\u2019ve accomplished together for the place where I was raised and still call home,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Beutler represents Washington state\u2019s 3rd Congressional District.
