September 10, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-04) released the following statement on the death of Charlie Kirk. 

“I was deeply saddened to hear Charlie Kirk has died from this despicable act of violence. As we pray for him, his wife, and two young children, we must also recognize the unacceptable pattern of political violence we have witnessed in recent years. Political speech is free speech, and debate between ideologies is one of our core principles that has sustained this country for almost 250 years. It must be cherished and protected.”
