Eleanor Holmes Norton succession plan?

[Anonymous]

Her staff and her family completely failed letting this become her legacy. Horrible.

What type of person could primary her? I’m almost considering trying to do an AOC type takeover but I’m no young person myself I’m 60 I guess compared to her almost 90 years old.

I’m so sick of these old farts in Congress. Anyone know of someone who might run?

I’m sick of entitled people like you, OP.

We aren’t getting entitled to representation

No, it doesn’t. It stinks of hoarding power. No one thinks that somebody 87 years old should still be in Congress. No one with a cancer diagnosis and who is over 70 should run for reelection when we have a fascist in the White House. Congress is a physical & emotional demanding job. No one is entitled to power.

These people employ a staff that are basically unemployable anywhere else. Can you please think of others before you think of yourself.

What? So now we need to think
of their staff? Do you hear yourself?

They are not entitled to have a job. They are in public service! We have WAY too many people clinging to power yet not even using that power.

+1 omg

As for a "succession plan," OP, it's called an election. She isn't some corporate executive who needs to make sure the business continues to thrive after she's gone, she's an elected official. They are leave office and are replaced all the time.

Besides, the last thing I want is her and her staff selecting her replacement. She's incompetent, and and checked out - why should she have a say in who fills that seat after her?

Agree. So many people don’t deserve America because they don’t even comprehend it

So she may not even know that she announced her retirement?

Yes because of her dementia. It’s terrible.

We’re for Pinto! But we wish she were running for mayor over Congress.

Sorry. The last few years Norton’s staff have been lazy and unresponsive to constituents.
