Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton of Washington, D.C., officially announced her retirement from the House, sparking a competitive race for the district’s non-voting delegate seat. This change sets the stage for new leadership in Capitol Hill.
The Democratic primary is particularly contested, with prominent figures like Robert White and Brooke Pinto leading the charge. White, currently serving as an at-large councilmember and a former mayoral candidate, is facing Pinto, a city councilmember, in this political race.
Holmes Norton, who has served D.C. since 1991, is stepping down at 88 years old after facing mounting calls to retire. The Republican party has put forth attorney Denise Rosado as its presumptive nominee.
This year’s election introduces a ranked choice voting system in the district, adding a new dimension to how votes are tallied. The primary election is set for Tuesday, with polls closing at 8 p.m. EDT. Stay informed with live results courtesy of Decision Desk HQ.
