YAKIMA, Wash.-Rep. Dan Newhouse has declared himself the winner in Washington’s 4th Congressional District race, although the district is one of 18 that the AP has yet to call.
Rep. Newhouse is leading challenger Jerrod Sessler 51 to 47 percent, a difference of about 10,500 votes, according to the Seattle Times who called the race for Newhouse on Nov. 8.
Rep. Newhouse released a statement declaring victory in the race for Washington’s 4th Congressional district on Nov. 11, which read:
“I’m incredibly honored to have the support from the people of Central Washington. The results from this election show the people want a results-driven leader who understands the unique challenges facing Central Washington. I’m committed to protecting the Lower Snake River dams, keeping the government’s promise to clean up the Hanford Site, and standing up to Communist China. Thank you to the people of the Fourth District for placing your trust in me once again. I will not let you down.”
