1. Will miss her but time to go.

6. I agree. At 85 yrs of age, it's time to let a younger generation get into the House.

Of the 6 oldest members of the House of Representatives, 5 are Democrats. All of them are at least 84 years of age. We need to look to new Representatives as the future leaders of the party. Remember, they'll all be a year older when the next election is held.
I'm not criticizing their ability, but the future needs a new set of experienced leaders to cope with what we're going to go through over the next couple of decades. Experience comes with time; time in office to gain the understanding of how to do the job.
The time to pass the baton is November of 2026.
