Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election next year.

Newhouse, who has been in office since 2015, was one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

"I am announcing today that I will not seek reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives," Newhouse wrote in a statement on X.

"Serving the Fourth District of Washington has been the honor of my life, and this decision comes with no reservations or remorse, only gratitude for the tremendous opportunity to have represented my home state in Congress," he said.
