Washington Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse, the former chair of the Congressional Western Caucus, is retiring from the House.
Newhouse announced Wednesday that he would not run for reelection next year. He has represented a rural district in eastern Washington since 2015.
“Serving the Fourth District of Washington has been the honor of my life, and this decision comes with no reservations or remorse, only gratitude for the tremendous opportunity to have represented my home state in Congress,” he said in a statement.

Newhouse led the Western Caucus from 2021 until 2025. The caucus is active on natural resources issues like public land, forestry, endangered species and water rights.
