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.

Didn’t realize she was still alive.
Nice work if you can get it.
Bitch finally figured out “why the hell am I working for 70 years when I can cash out like that white MTG bitch after 5 years?
Congresswoman?
Bullstuff! She’s a nonvoting “delegate” from the District of Columbia. She pretends to be a member of Congress, just as the District of Criminals pretends to be worthy of Statehood. Both are delusions.
89 in June.
I can’t believe she’s still alive.
I used to watch her on a PBS debate show, “To The Contrary.”
She was a flaming lib, decades ago.
It’s time for Grandma to ‘go home’, in both senses of that term.
She;s STILL alive and still UGLY!!
Her brain stopped functioning normally several decades ago. Good riddance.
