## Resource

For the first time in decades, D.C. voters head to the polls without longtime delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who stepped aside at 89 to avoid federal interference battles. Her successor, Councilmember Robert White Jr.—a D.C. native, former legislative counsel, and statehood advocate—is poised to take her seat, facing Republican Denise Rosado. Norton’s legacy as a Civil Rights icon and first female EEOC head looms large, while White must quickly earn trust in a Congress often at odds with local governance. This transition marks a pivotal moment as D.C. looks to a new voice to champion its residents amid shifting demographics and political realities.
