88-Year-Old Congresswoman “Missing Stuff”"She reads what her staff puts in front of her"June 17, 2025 by Daniel Greenfield Thomas Jefferson left office at the age of 65. He died at the age of 83. Back then politics was not supposed to be a profession, let alone a lifetime sinecure. Dying in public office was not supposed to be the objective. But once politics became a profession, politicians tried to stay in office for their entire lives and so we have a series of scandals involving public offices who are quite old and quite out of it.
One House Democrat who knows Norton’s work from the Oversight Committee told Axios that during efforts to pass D.C. statehood in 2020 and 2021, she “wasn’t talking to many people.”
Last week Norton staffers hedged after she told reporters she planned to run for a 19th term next year.
