Dan Newhouse

Dan Newhouse, born on July tenth, nineteen fifty-five, is a prominent American politician and farmer, currently serving as the U.S. representative for Washington's fourth congressional district. This district encompasses much of the central third of Washington state, including the cities of Yakima and the Tri-Cities. Before his tenure in Congress, Newhouse held significant roles, including director of the Washington State Department of Agriculture and a member of the Washington House of Representatives.

A member of the Republican Party, Newhouse made headlines as one of the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump during his second impeachment. His political journey has been marked by notable electoral strategies, as he successfully advanced to the general election with twenty-five point five percent of the total vote, despite securing only about one-third of the votes from Republican voters.

Newhouse's political resilience is evident as he became one of only two Republicans to vote for impeachment and subsequently win renomination and reelection in both twenty-two and twenty-four, alongside David Valadao of California. As he looks ahead, Newhouse has announced his retirement in twenty-six, marking the end of a significant chapter in his political career.
