Daniel Milton Newhouse (born July 10, 1955) is an American politician and agricultural scientist serving as the U.S. representative for Washington's 4th congressional district. The district covers much of the central third of the state, including Yakima and the Tri-Cities. Before his election to Congress, Newhouse served as director of the Washington State Department of Agriculture and as a member of the Washington House of Representatives. He is a member of the Republican Party.
Newhouse was among the ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump during his second impeachment.[1][2] Benefiting from Washington state's blanket primary system and crowded primary, Newhouse won the Republican nomination with 25.5% of the total vote, despite only garnering approximately one-third of the votes cast by Republicans. Newhouse is one of two Republicans to vote for impeachment and win renomination and reelection in 2022, along with David Valadao of California.
Newhouse is a member of the moderate Republican Governance Group.
