Eleanor Holmes Norton, a non-voting delegate representing the District of Columbia, has the “early stages of dementia,” according to a police report detailing how scammers took advantage of the oldest member of the House of Representatives.
Norton, 88, was duped by multiple suspects Thursday who went to her Washington, DC, home claiming to be HVAC workers, according to an internal police report obtained by NBC News4.
The swindlers charged $4,362 to the Democratic congresswoman’s credit card without performing any work.
Norton’s “caretaker/power of attorney was not at residence” at the time the group showed up, which was just after 3:30 p.m., the report states, noting that it was Norton’s “caretaker” who called DC police after noticing the unscheduled arrival at the congresswoman’s home.
Norton’s apparent cognitive impairment was described in the section of the police report detailing victim information.
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC) 88 years old, Black Woman, suffers early stages of dementia,” the report states.
Norton, who has served as a member of the House since 1991, has shown signs of mental decline and has struggled to do her job on Capitol Hill in recent years, friends and colleagues told the New York Times earlier this year.
The congresswoman is described as being “unable to function independently,” leaning on aides, close friends and family members for help, the outlet reported, noting that she rarely attends House Oversight Committee meetings and appears at times not to recognize people she has known for years.

Congress similar to the judicial system with codgers past their ‘best used by’ dates.

Two miners talking to each other.
“Sometimes I think about getting too old to mine someday. What could I do if my mind declines and I end up useless for the work of mining?”
Buddy: “If we get to be useless with our minds gone we could just go into another line of work such as judging.”
I wonder if the family is forcing her to stay in office to divvy up the $174,000 annual salary.
She has no vote, so she’s basically part of the furniture.
She could be embalmed and continue to be reelected and pointed at by tour guides, as if she were Daniel Webster’s desk.
Dementia is a requirement to run for office as a Democrat
Old and demented. How could they tell when she was nesting amongst the rest of the Congress Creatures.
Thomas Jefferson thought there would be blood in the streets and a total change about every ten years. It has lasted so much longer than that, but things need to change. Hear me out:
My wife and I were talking and came to the conclusion the six years for Senator remain, but make the House term three years, then after the House member has two terms, and the Senator one, they get kicked out. Along with that they do not get the cushy retirement and medical. They have to use a 401K and the Obamacare that was forced down the citizen's throats.
We think it would lead to a bit less corruption if the House memebers have three years thus not having to start grubbing for cash immediately after the elections, thus slowing some of the grift a tiny bit. Senators get their six years to find a way to make their millions then they get the boot.
She has always been senile.
That's about one week of a representative's pay for not performing any work.
You have to pry their fingers off these positions. The benefits must be tremendous.
if she isnt voting she really shouldn’t be in the House. waste of money to have paid useless people there.
Why are non-voting people and their staff, in congress, paid by taxpayers?
She can introduce legislation and vote in committee. So who’s legislation and committee votes would it actually be?

estimate how much money is paid to ALL non-voting people and ALL their staff people including ALL perks including office space, vehicles, travel, etc in U. S. Congress
Answer from search:
The query cannot be fully answered with the available information, as it requests a comprehensive estimate of all payments and perks for non-voting members of Congress and their staff, including office space, vehicles, travel, and other expenses—data that is not consolidated in the provided context. Non-voting members of Congress, such as delegates and the resident commissioner, receive the same base salary as voting representatives: $174,000 per year.
They also receive a Members’ Representational Allowance (MRA) to cover staff, office, and mailing expenses, though the exact amount varies by district.2 For example, in 2018, the lowest MRA was about $1.28 million3 , and in 2016, MRAs ranged from $1,207,510 to $1,383,709, with an average of $1,268,520.
These funds can be used to hire up to 18 full-time staff members, with a standard office personnel allowance of $944,671 in 2016.2 However, the context does not provide total aggregated figures for all non-voting members combined, nor does it include detailed data on vehicles or other specific perks. Additionally, while travel and office expenses are covered under the MRA and Senators’ SOPOEA accounts, no total sum for non-voting members and their staff is available.
_ Therefore, a complete estimate cannot be calculated from the given sources.
