Norton exits reelection bid as DC delegate, reshaping a crowded primary
Eleanor Holmes Norton, Washington’s longtime nonvoting House delegate, will not seek a 19th term after her campaign filed a termination with the FEC, signaling an end to this bid though she could run again later. At 88, she has faced scrutiny over her fitness and public visibility, and prominent voices urged retirement as challengers began to emerge for the Democratic primary in a city that leans heavily Democratic.
