Norton to face first election challenge in 16 years

Andy Miscuk was once a U.S. Army paratrooper. This week, the four-term Adams Morgan advisory neighborhood commissioner took a flying leap of a different kind — into the political fight of his life.

Miscuk on Monday launched his bid to unseat Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, presenting the incumbent with her first Democratic challenge in 16 years. It will be, at the very least, an uphill battle for a relative unknown, though political observers say it is time that Norton faced some resistance.
