Eleanor Holmes Norton for Congress

Many thanks to DC voters who gave me close to 90% of your votes on election day. Depend on me to make every effort to vindicate this strong vote, whether I'm in the majority or the minority.

D.C., Help me keep the House in democratic hands. Twice passage of my D.C. Statehood bill shows first progress in D.C.'s 200 year history. With your help I could become the Chair of any two full committees. Chip in $51 for the 51st state. Donate now at: eleanorfordc.com

Hey D.C.! Come meet me for Happy Hour! Click the link below to reserve your spot today! Hope to see you there! eventbrite.com/e/meet-and-gre…

The #Quilts4DC project launched by @DC_Vote has begun and will continue until September 30th. The goal is #DCStatehood, or in the meantime, to collect quilts from all 50 states inspired by the opportunity for DC to become the 51st.

Please help me keep my role as a chair in a Democratic majority as a national poll shows 54% of the American people support #DC Statehood. Please chip in $5. secure.actblue.com/donate/eleanor…

@AttorneyCrump Amen.

“They’re kneeling? F***** n*****! I hope Norman gets their a** kicked. F*** them. I hope they lose.” This sports announcer claimed his racial slurs about HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS before their basketball game was due to his blood sugar?! Getting hangry is no excuse for racism!

So the second point here is... a total lie. D.C. has had 24 years of balanced budgets. (Congress, on the other hand, can't reliably pass a budget, period.) The city gets the same federal funds as any state, and a small annual payment for security and other such federal functions.

I couldn’t choose who to represent me in the #Senate even though I’m a citizen and pay full federal taxes. I’ve heard my neighbors had the same problem. @SenRonJohnson could your office help me with this highly irregular voting issue? #DCStatehood

Tomorrow morning I’ll be speaking at the #VotersDecidedRally, an extension of the #PeoplesWatchParty, at McPherson Square at 11:00AM.

I did not win that big victory to return to Congress alone. I owe many thanks to my campaign manager Jeremiah Pope @mrjpope, to Vernard Dickson a perfectionist in placing my campaign posters, and to congressional staff who helped on their private time.

I'm encouraged by the votes coming in for @JoeBiden. States deserve great credit for doing their job. Voters have done theirs. Only patience is required now.

Thank You. We did this. - mailchi.mp/ac30c01ca886/t…

This is our #House, and we're keeping it.

Today, #DC rose. Today, DC voted.

DC results are now up. Thank you #DC for the overwhelming 87% vote to return me to the #House of Representatives.

At 9:00 I'll be speaking to @JerryBarmash about what we know about tonight's elections so far. See his Twitter account to watch.

I'll be going #live here to comment shortly after 8:00PM when #DC's voting centers close and results are available.
