Norton to retire after 35-year tenure as D.C.'s nonvoting delegate

Eleanor Holmes Norton confirmed she will retire as Washington, D.C.'s longtime nonvoting House delegate at the end of this term, completing her 18th term at age 88 after filing to end her reelection campaign. She highlighted accomplishments like transferring federal lands to local control and creating a federally funded tuition-assistance program for D.C. residents, and said she will continue serving residents until her term ends. A June 16 Democratic primary is expected to determine her successor, with candidates including DC Council members Brooke Pinto and Robert White; Norton had faced questions about fitness and had raised little campaign money amid retirement pressure.
