Rep. Grace F. Napolitano, the oldest member of the House at 86, announced earlier this month that she wasn’t seeking reelection, but other octogenarians in Congress have yet to publicly disclose their plans.
Chief among them are three influential Democrats: Reps. Nancy Pelosi, 83, of California, Steny H. Hoyer, 84, of Maryland, and James E. Clyburn, 83, of South Carolina.
Pelosi, a former speaker who has represented San Francisco in the House for more than 36 years, is still a prodigious fundraiser: she brought in about $936,000 during the second quarter of 2023 and has about $3.6 million in the bank.
