Eleanor Holmes Norton (born June 13, 1937) is a Delegate to Congress representing the District of Columbia. In her position she is able to serve on and vote with committees, as well as speak from the House floor. However, she is not permitted to vote on final passage of any legislation because she is not a full member of Congress.


Norton took office on January 3, 1991, and has been reelected every two years since. Norton is up for reelection in November 2010.


Delegates serve exclusively in the House of Representatives - the Senate does not include any counterpart official from U.S. areas that do not possess statehood status.
