When Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) voted to impeach former Pres. Donald Trump over the Jan. 6, 2021, rally at the U.S. Capitol, he sparked the political interest of six local Republicans who are now vying to replace him in representing the 4th Congressional District in the state of Washington.

“His vote for impeachment is what’s driving the energy of the folks on the conservative side,” said Caleb Heimlich, chairman of the Washington State Republican Party.
