Tiffany Smiley Challenges Rep. Dan Newhouse in Washington GOP Primary

Smiley, a former Senate candidate, targets one of the few GOP incumbents who voted to impeach Trump, intensifying the primary battle.

Tiffany Smiley announced her candidacy to unseat Rep. Dan Newhouse, emphasizing her outsider status and focus on veteran advocacy.
Newhouse, criticized for his impeachment vote, faces multiple challengers including Trump-endorsed Jerrod Sessler.
Smiley previously ran a competitive Senate race against Democrat Patty Murray, losing by a significant margin.
Her campaign could leverage Newhouse's impeachment vote in a district with strong Republican leanings.
The primary race is set for August 6, with the filing deadline closing this week.
