District of Columbia Councilman Robert White announced a campaign against Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) for her nonvoting spot in the House. 

White, a three-term at-large councilman and the biggest name to enter the race, said in his announcement that President Donald Trump’s threats to the district’s home rule have increased the need for new representation for the district in Congress. Norton, 88, has been facing increased pressure in recent months to retire due to concerns about her ability to advocate the district at her age.
