As we close out the year, major news just broke in Washington politics:
Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse is retiring.
This is the same right-wing extremist who voted against food assistance for families and in favor of a reckless budget that takes away Washingtonians’ health care. Now, his open seat is drawing in MAGA extremists and billionaire-backed conservatives eager to drag our state even further backward.
Let’s be clear about what comes next.
Republicans are lining up candidates who are proudly pro-Trump, anti-working families, and backed by deep-pocketed donors pushing extremist agendas. They want to turn Central Washington into a proving ground for the most extreme politics in the country..
Washington Democrats see this moment for what it is: a fight worth having.
An open seat means opportunity, but only if we’re ready. Recruiting strong candidates, organizing early, and building the infrastructure to compete doesn’t happen overnight. This work takes resources, and it takes all of us.
Your support helps us:
- Push back against MAGA extremism
- Stand up for food assistance, working families, and rural communities
- Build real Democratic power across every corner of our state
Thank you,
Washington State Democrats
