BREAKING--8th District Rep Klippert to Challenge Newhouse in 2022

Perhaps some elements of the GOP are not fully aware of the ripple (more like 'tsunami') effect of the attempted second impeachment of President Trump.

More of them will be now, as late Tuesday night, State 8th District House Rep. Brad Klippert announced his candidacy for the 4th Congressional District now occupied by Dan Newhouse.

Newhouse was one of the "10" GOP in Congress who voted in favor of the impeachment led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In it's wake, many of the County GOP Committees and Parties in the 4th. demanded Newhouse resign. He refused.

Some say since then he's been playing damage control, releasing a series of informational emails about what his roles will be the next two years; and joining with other Republicans to push back against Biden's agenda.

That obviously has not changed the minds of much of the GOP in the 4th. You may recall Newhouse beat Clint Didier only 50-49 percent during the runoff election following Doc Hasting's retirement in 2014. Now he's facing a tough challenger in 8th. District Rep. Brad Klippert.

Klippert is a shrewd, fiery, tough legislator, he and fellow 8th District Rep. Matt Boehnke have fought hard for the District that includes Kennewick, Richland, and part of Benton County. Klippert is a staunch Constitutionalist, and the 2021 Legislative session has seem him introduce a flurry of bills designed to end the COVID lockdowns, and curb the powers of Gov. Inslee now, and future governors to come.

Here's the letter released by Klippert via the Benton County Republican Party:
