Dan Newhouse
Republican

Republican Doc Hastings, who had represented the 4th district since 1995, retired. [19]

The 4th district is a large and predominantly rural district in Central Washington that encompasses numerous counties and is dominated by the Tri-Cities and Yakima areas. The district was not considered to be competitive. The last time any Democrat running for any partisan office carried it was when State Auditor Brian Sonntag was re-elected in 2004. [20]

Results

For the first time in Washington state history, the winners of the top-two primary for a U.S. Congressional race were members of the same party. Although only one "serious" Democratic candidate was on the ballot, Estakio Beltran, David Wasserman of The Cook Political Report speculated that without an incumbent for Democrats to vote against and recognising that Beltran had "no hope" of winning the seat in November, 4th district Democrats might have "strategically [voted] for a Republican they may favor."
