And, incredibly, Eleanor Holmes Norton doesn't even need the money to run a campaign. As the representative from D.C., she's appointed! And she has no vote! That's what I thought.
But if she is a non-voting member of Congress, WHY is she the HEAD of a Committee? Especially one that decides how to spend billions of taxpayer money!

I think that Congress must have at least one committee or sub-committee for each member of the majority party, just so they can all have power over a segment of the “community.”

The Democrats recognize her seniority.
