Veteran Washington D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton has made a definitive statement to quell any speculation about her future, firmly asserting her intention to serve a full term if re-elected this November.
The 86-year-old Congresswoman, who has represented the District of Columbia since 1991, directly addressed questions surrounding her age and commitment. In a resolute declaration, she stated her plan to complete the entire term, effectively dismissing any rumours of a potential early retirement.
'I'm running for re-election and I expect to serve out my term,' Norton told the press, leaving no room for ambiguity about her political ambitions.
Having dedicated over three decades to representing D.C.'s interests in the House of Representatives, Norton remains a formidable force in American politics. Her announcement comes as she prepares to face voters once again, seeking to extend her remarkable tenure as the District's non-voting delegate.
This firm commitment puts to rest any questions about whether the long-serving politician might consider stepping down before completing another term, ensuring continuity and experienced leadership for the nation's capital.
