GOP leaders demand Newhouse resign over impeachment vote

Associated Press  

SPOKANE, Wash. — Most of the Republican county leaders in U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse’s congressional district on Monday called for the lawmaker to resign for being one of 10 GOP members of the House to vote for the impeachment of former President Donald Trump. Six county GOP chairs from the 4th Congressional District, which covers the central portion of Washington state, issued a letter Monday calling for Newhouse to resign. ”An overwhelming majority of our county constituents are calling for your resignation.’' “When a representative fails to represent the people, the people must respond,’' the letter said, adding many constituents feel “betrayed” by Newhouse’s Jan. 13 vote. Republican U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who represents southwest Washington’s 3rd Congressional District, also voted to impeach Trump.
