WASHINGTON — Eleanor Holmes Norton has been D.C.'s nonvoting delegate to the House of Representatives for 34 years. And at 88, she has indicated a few times that she plans to run for reelection once again. But her first campaign manager and once-head of the Democratic National Committee is calling for her to sit out of the running in a new op-ed in the Washington Post .

Donna Brazile, former interim DNC chair and longtime friend and colleague of Norton, praised her decades of work but said it's time for a new champion for D.C. in the piece posted in the newspaper's opinion section Monday afternoon. Brazile, 65, ran Norton's first campaign for delegate back in 1990 and served as her chief of staff until 1999. In the op-ed, she said Norton has been like a second mother to her.
