WaPo’s Olivia George: “A top staffer of Eleanor Holmes Norton, the civil rights icon and longtime nonvoting representative for D.C. in the House, is running for her congressional seat, joining a crowded field as the 88-year-old lawmaker faces ever-mounting pressure to step down.
“Trent Holbrook, 40, who most recently served as her senior legislative counsel, intends to launch his campaign Wednesday for the position his boss and longtime mentor has held for more than three decades.
” … Holbrook, who has stayed quiet about Norton’s ability to remain effective in the seat she has held since 1991, said he isn’t trying to undermine his boss and former law school professor despite the fact that she has continually told reporters she is seeking reelection. But he suggested that her chances of winning a 19th term are slim.” [WaPo]
