Rep. Eleanor Norton

Delegate from District of Columbia’s At-Large District, Democrat

Norton, a Democrat, has been the delegate from the District of Columbia since Jan 3, 1991 (next election in 2016).

The District of Columbia is a territory of the United States. Because it is not a state, it has no senators or representatives in Congress. Instead it sends a delegate to the House of Representatives with essentially no voting privileges. Delegates have a marginal role in Congress and their constituents are not represented in Congress in the same manner as most citizens.
