Norton in 2006
Eleanor Holmes Norton is currently serving in the U.S. House of Representatives as the non-voting delegate from the District of Columbia since January 3, 1991.[9] Norton is a member of the Democratic Party.[10] Before her tenure in Congress, Norton served as the chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from 1977 to 1981.[11] She was appointed by President Jimmy Carter, becoming the first woman to hold the position.[11] During her tenure in Congress, she has been a major proponent for the District of Colombia to become a state, with Norton proposing a statehood bill in the House several times.[12] While a statehood bill has passed the House, the Senate has never passed the bill.[13]
