Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, who has beaten challengers backed by Donald Trump in the past two election cycles, is the latest House Republican to announce his retirement.
Newhouse said in a statement Wednesday that he had “no reservations or remorse” as he ends his tenure representing central Washington’s deep-red 4th District, which includes Yakima.
“As I look forward to this new chapter and ways I can continue to serve my community and this great Nation, I do so with confidence that there are now qualified and serious people expressing interest in this office,” he said.
