Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton has filed to end her reelection campaign following months of scrutiny over her age and her ability to continue in her role as the capital’s nonvoting House member.
Citizens for Eleanor Holmes Norton, the campaign committee for the 88-year-old Democrat, filed a termination report Sunday with the Federal Election Commission, seemingly bringing to an end a House career that began with her first election in 1990.
According to the filing, Norton raised just $7.50 between Jan. 1 and Jan. 25 and had no cash on hand. She also brought in $2,520 during the fourth quarter of 2025, which ended Dec. 31. Her campaign has spent nearly $117,000 over the current cycle, the filings show, but raised less than $20,000. Norton also loaned her campaign $40,000 in June.
