Jaime Lynn Herrera Beutler (/həˈrɛrə ˈbʌtlər/ hə-RERR-ə BUT-lər;[1] born November 3, 1978) is an American politician who served as the U.S. representative for Washington's 3rd congressional district from 2011 to 2023. The district is in southwestern Washington, lying across the Columbia River from Oregon's Portland metropolitan area. A Republican, Herrera Beutler previously served in the Washington House of Representatives.

Herrera Beutler was one of ten Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump after the January 6 United States Capitol attack.[2][3] During Trump's Senate trial, she issued a statement as a witness.[4] This prompted a primary challenge from several Republican candidates. She was eliminated in the 2022 blanket primary, finishing third, and was succeeded by Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.[5]
