As we look forward to 2020, it is important to reflect on the accomplishments we achieved in 2019. I am proudly working to put Central Washington's priorities first, and it is truly a privilege to represent our District in Congress.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the following statement, reacting to confirmation by the Pentagon that an airstrike ordered by President Trump killed Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Crops-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization:
Impeachment is one of the most serious responsibilities afforded to Congress, and that sobering responsibility has not been lost on me. The people of Central Washington sent me to our nation's capital to represent them, and I believe – when it comes to charging a President with the articles of impeachment – Members must focus on the facts presented. House Democrats failed to present fact-based evidence of high crimes or misdemeanors committed by President Trump.

In 1964, the United States and Canada ratified the Columbia River Treaty to increase coordination between our countries on power generation and flood control issues, along with critical support of irrigation, navigation, and ecosystem habitat needs.
