WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the following statement in response to Governor Inslee's "Washington Recovery Plan":
"Last night, Governor Inslee released a ‘plan' with zero benchmarks, zero concrete details, and zero specifics. For weeks, I have been pressing upon him the importance of developing a substantive plan detailing the criteria necessary for us to move forward with reopening our state and restarting our economy. The Governor's address and his subsequent release of the ‘Washington Recovery Plan' lacks that necessary substance.
Washington is not a one-size-fits-all state. That can be said of our recreational activities, our professions, our political leanings, and our way of life across the diverse regions of our great state. So, a stay-at-home order should not be one-size-fits-all.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) announced a change to the sixth annual Congressional Art Competition for Central Washington.

When Congress was first considering coronavirus relief packages, I immediately recognized the needs of our rural hospitals.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 9, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) joined a bipartisan group of colleagues in sending a letter to the Department of the Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and U.S.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Reps. Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE), and Chellie Pingree (D-ME) led a bipartisan letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary (USDA) Sonny Perdue supporting relief for farmers and ranchers suffering market losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are in unprecedented times. The coronavirus outbreak has had a profound impact on the American people and our economy, but – together – we will make sure that impact is not a lasting one.
As many businesses temporarily transition operations online, essential employees continue to practice safe operations, and our healthcare providers and first responders continue to selflessly serve on the front lines, keeping our families, friends, and neighbors safe and healthy.
