Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, widow of Baltimore Rep. Elijah Cummings, will seek his seat in Congress

By Luke Broadwater, The Baltimore Sun

Maryland Democratic Party Chairwoman Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, the widow of U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, is running for her husband’s seat, arguing Monday she is the best option to carry out his legacy and continue his vision.

“I am, of course, devastated at the loss of my spouse, but his spirit is with me,” Rockeymoore Cummings, 48, said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun. “I’m going to run this race and I’m going to run it hard, as if he’s still right here by my side.”

Cummings, who had cancer, died Oct. 17 after serving more than two decades in Congress. He left a record of fighting for the needy and battling the administration of Republican President Donald Trump.

Looks like a democrat hold in 2020 unless she's got some skeletons in her closet.

And here I was thinking a Congressman's job should be to represent the will of the people who elect him/her rather than to establish a personal 'vision'.

Naive of me, I know.

Am confused.  Is this black congressman's wife the one who is being investigated for corruption or is it another black congressman?

That's correct, but it won't matter to Baltimore's Rat voters.

Perhaps she is seeking sanctuary for her crimes within the halls of Congress.

Wouldn't be the first time.

This race will sure be a cliffhanger, assuming she isn't running unopposed.   wink777
