Herrera Beutler is the third GOP impeachment voter to lose in a primary this year, after Reps. Peter Meijer and Tom Rice . Another two, Reps. Dan Newhouse and David Valadao , advanced through all-party primaries to their respective general elections. And four members — Reps. Anthony Gonzalez , John Katko , Adam Kinzinger and Fred Upton — decided not to run for reelection.
