Incumbent Dan Newhouse (R) defeated Jerrod Sessler (R) in the general election for Washington's 4th Congressional District on November 5, 2024. The race did not affect the overall partisan count of the U.S. House, as both general election candidates were Republicans, guaranteeing a Republican victory.
Sessler finished first in the top-two primary in 2024, and Newhouse finished second. Sessler ran against Newhouse in 2022 but did not advance to the general election, finishing fourth in the top-two primary. A top-two primary is a type of primary election where all candidates are listed on the same ballot. The top two vote-getters advance to the general election, regardless of their partisan affiliations. Consequently, it is possible for two candidates belonging to the same political party to win in a top-two primary and face off in the general election.[1][2]
Cascade PBS's Mai Hoang wrote, "This time [Sessler] gained considerable momentum with numerous endorsements, including from the Washington State Republican Party, several county Republican parties, the House Freedom Caucus, ... and Trump himself."[3]
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) supported Newhouse. NRCC representative Ben Peterson said the organization's policy was to support incumbents in races between two Republicans.[4]
Newhouse was first elected to Congress in 2014. He earned a bachelor's degree in agricultural economics from Washington State University.[5] He was a state representative from 2003 to 2009 and the Washington Director of Agriculture from 2009 to 2013.[6] Newhouse and his family operated an 850-acre farm in Sunnyside, Washington.[5]
Newhouse called agriculture "a huge part of [his] priorities."[3] Newhouse also said he supported border security and viewed the issue as linked with agriculture. He co-sponsored the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, which he called "a great step in relieving the pressure on the border and taking away the incentive for people to come into this country illegally."[7][3] He highlighted his work in Congress to investigate China's role in producing the raw materials used to make fentanyl. He said, "The Communist Chinese party is incentivizing, encouraging and empowering companies in China to send these products to the Mexican cartels in particular. This is leading directly to the increased trafficking of fentanyl across our border and into communities across the country, including right here in Central Washington.”[8]
Newhouse was one of two remaining Republicans in Congress who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump (R).[9]
Sessler joined the U.S. Navy out of high school.[10] He later earned a bachelor's degree in engineering from Kennedy Western University.[11] Sessler was a NASCAR driver from 1999 to 2006.[12] In 2004, he founded a home maintenance company called HomeTask.[13] He owned a ranch with his wife and family.[14]
Sessler called himself "the conservative we deserve" and said Newhouse "betrayed our trust."[15][16] Sessler criticized Newshouse's vote to impeach Trump. He said, "Unlike my opponent Dan Newhouse, who joined Democrats to impeach President Trump, I'll be a strong ally for the MAGA agenda."[15] Sessler said his main priority in Congress would be eliminating corruption.[14] He also said he would aim to protect economically crucial pieces of infrastructure with a Critical Infrastructure Act, which he said "would identify, for example, a power generating dam, its environment around it, and it would provide protection to it," similar to the protection of endangered species.[14] Sessler criticized the Biden administration's approach to the U.S.-Mexico border and said, "I support deporting the invaders."[7][3][14]
Based on third quarter reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Newhouse raised $2.3 million and spent $1.9 million and Sessler raised $617,402 and spent $483,699. To review all the campaign finance figures in full detail, click here.
This was one of five U.S. House general elections in 2024 featuring two candidates from the same party following a top-two primary and the only one featuring two Republicans. The general elections for Washington's 9th Congressional District and California's 12th, 16th, and 34th Congressional Districts each featured two Democrats.
All 435 U.S. House seats were up for election in 2024. At the time of the election, Republicans had a 220 to 212 majority with three vacancies.[17] Forty-five members of the U.S. House did not run for re-election. To read more about the 2024 U.S. House elections, click here.
In the 2022 election in this district, the Republican candidate won 66.5%-31.2%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Donald Trump (R) would have defeated Joe Biden (D) 57.2%-40.3%.[18] For more information about the primaries in this election, click on the links below:

Race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[19]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[20][21][22]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Washington in 2024. Information below was calculated on June 4, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Sixty-two candidates ran for Washington’s 10 U.S. House districts, including 26 Democrats, 25 Republicans, three Independents, and eight non-major party candidates. That’s an average of 6.2 candidates per district. That’s lower than the 6.8 candidates per district in 2022 and the 7.3 in 2020.
The 5th and 6th Congressional Districts were open in 2024, meaning no incumbents ran for re-election. That’s the most open districts in an election cycle this decade.
Incumbent Reps. Cathy McMorris Rogers (R-05) and Derek Kilmer (D-06) did not run for re-election because they retired from public office.
Eleven candidates—five Democrats and six Republicans—ran for the open 5th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Washington in 2024.
All 10 primaries were contested in 2024. Between 2022 and 2014, an average of 9.6 primaries were contested per year.
Eight incumbents—seven Democrats and one Republican—were in contested primaries in 2024. Between 2022 and 2014, an average of 8.8 incumbents were in contested primaries per year.
No districts were guaranteed to either party because Democratic and Republican candidates filed to run in all 10 districts. Washington utilizes a top-two primary system. In a top-two primary system, all candidates are listed on the same ballot. The top two vote-getters, regardless of their partisan affiliations, advance to the general election.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+11. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 11 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Washington's 4th the 126th most Republican district nationally.[26]
2020 presidential election results
