Oldest sitting U.S. representatives (2026)

Every sitting U.S. representative with a recorded birth date, ranked by age on September 9, 2026 (the day this page was last rebuilt, so the ages move only when the site does). "First elected" is the earliest election for this office that the person won, which is why a U.S. representative who first reached the office by appointment or succession shows a later year than the year they took the seat. 11 sitting members are not ranked: Adelita S. Grijalva (Arizona-7), Aisha Wahab (California-14), James Gallagher (California-1), Jimmy Patronis (Florida-1), Randy Fine (Florida-6), Clay Fuller (Georgia-14), Everton Blair Jr. (Georgia-13), Analilia Mejia (New Jersey-11), Matt Van Epps (Tennessee-7), Christian D. Menefee (Texas-18), James R. Walkinshaw (Virginia-11). Each reached the seat by appointment, succession, or a special election PolitiFinder does not yet hold, so there is no election record to build a profile from, and none of them would displace the leader above. The 6 non-voting delegates (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands) are also excluded: they represent no state and hold no floor vote. The oldest of them, Eleanor Holmes Norton of the District of Columbia, is 89.
