DC-AL: Holmes Norton files to end reelection campaign
Washington, D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) on Sunday moved to end her reelection campaign after 35 years on Capitol Hill.
Holmes Norton, 88, filed a termination report with the Federal Election Commission on Sunday morning. The move, first reported by NOTUS, comes as the congresswoman has faced mounting calls to retire.
The Hill reached out to Holmes Norton’s office and campaign for comment.
Former senior aide of the D.C. Democrat, Trent Holbrook, launched a bid for her seat earlier this month, while Robert White, a member of the Council of the District of Columbia, announced his intention to run for the District’s sole nonvoting seat in September.
