## Resource

Washington D.C. bids farewell to a civil rights legend as Eleanor Holmes Norton, after 18 terms, steps down from her nonvoting congressional seat — a historic departure that reshapes the district’s political landscape. Her successor, Robert White Jr., a D.C. native and former legislative counsel, triumphed in the Democratic primary and now faces Republican Denise Rosado in a race that could redefine representation. White vows to push for D.C. statehood and defend local autonomy, stepping into a role that demands building new alliances in a Congress that often ignores D.C. residents’ voices. Norton’s legacy — from the March on Washington to leading the EEOC — looms large as the district enters a new era, with White tasked to champion the evolving needs of nearly 700,000 Washingtonians.
