Rep. Dan Newhouse, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington’s 4th district, has been active on social media discussing recent legislative efforts and priorities. His tweets reflect a focus on wildfire management, addressing the fentanyl crisis, and reauthorizing significant agricultural legislation.

On February 4, 2025, Rep. Newhouse announced the introduction of the Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act of 2025. He emphasized that "as wildfires continue to ravage our communities every year," this bipartisan legislation aims to provide "major new assets to our fire suppression fleets for year-round management efforts."

Two days later, on February 6, 2025, Rep. Newhouse expressed pride in presiding over business in the House of Representatives. He noted that they were "hard at work this week in D.C." focusing on passing legislation related to "the fentanyl crisis and wildfire suppression." The tweet is available here.

Later that day, he reiterated his commitment to reauthorizing the Farm Bill before its expiration at the end of September. This remains one of his top priorities as indicated in his tweet shared here.
