Washington US Rep. Dan Newhouse looks to exit Congress on his terms
The Republican has faced a difficult atmosphere and challengers from within his own party since he voted to impeach Donald Trump, but says that’s not what’s behind his decision to not run again.
For a while, Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse says he’s been hearing a little voice in the back of his head telling him it might be time to step aside.
On Wednesday, he announced he’d decided to follow that impulse and would not run for reelection next year in the 4th Congressional District in central Washington.
“I came into Congress thinking that I’d probably spend 10 years. I just came to the conclusion and made the decision,” he said. “It’s not been an overnight decision.”
