Rep. Dan Newhouse is a Sunnyside Republican who takes after his father, the late Sen. Irv Newhouse of Mabton. If nothing else the Newhouse name is known for being one of gentlemen in Olympia.

I think in the future hes going to have lots to contribute, Newhouse said of Berman, just not in this election.
