SEATTLE (AP) 鈥� Washington state Rep. Dan Newhouse, one of two remaining House Republicans former President Donald Trump, won reelection Tuesday.
In his bid for a sixth term, he survived a challenge from Jerrod Sessler, who was endorsed by Trump.
Newhouse was endorsed by the NRA and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, and he has mostly steered clear of the subject of Trump. He鈥檚 instead focused on agriculture and border security in a state with millions of acres of pastures, orchards and cereal grain lands where immigrant labor is extremely important.
Sessler is a Navy veteran whose positions were in lockstep with Trump. He said he would fight for strong national security measures, including 鈥渁n impenetrable border;" work to dismantle regulations imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency and other administrative agencies; and encourage tariffs and other sanctions on China.
鈥淐hina鈥檚 obsession with global power, combined with its atheistic mindset, which removes the morality component, makes it a dangerous adversary,鈥� Sessler said in one of many video statements about issues posted to his campaign website.
