Congress Gets Older, Not Younger | Colorado Springs News
Description
Capitol Hill’s aging roster is hitting new highs, with over ten lawmakers aged 80+ running for reelection and the average House member nearing 60. Veteran icons like 92-year-old Chuck Grassley, 88-year-old Hal Rogers, and 87-year-old Maxine Waters are locked in safe seats, while others like Jim Clyburn and John Carter weather redistricting and legal battles. Even newcomers like 81-year-old Jim Baird and 80-year-old Ed Markey are back in the game — all amid a generational clash that’s reshaping how we see power, experience, and longevity in Washington.
