Eleanor Holmes Norton, 88, who has represented the District of Columbia since 1991, is facing a challenge from one of her longtime staffers in the upcoming midterms.
Trent Holbrook, 40, who has been at Norton’s side for more than eight years, told The Washington Post that he intends to launch a campaign for his former boss’s seat on Wednesday after what he described as a “good” conversation with her about the decision.
“I don’t consider myself to be running against Congresswoman Norton,” Holbrook told the outlet. “If Congresswoman Norton was running a campaign that I thought would win, you know, I wouldn’t be here. But that’s not where we’re at right now,” he added.
