Tiffany Smiley, a veterans’ advocate and former triage nurse, has entered the race for Washington’s Fourth Congressional District, which is currently represented by Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.)—one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump in January 2021.

Ms. Smiley, a Republican and former Senate candidate, announced the launch of her campaign in a video posted on X on May 6, in which she mentioned her experience of taking on government dysfunction while fighting on behalf of veterans as a Washington outsider. She said she now hopes to change the system from within, while vowing to tackle deficit-fueled government spending and fight for border security.
