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.
