Default Elijah Cummings dies at the age of 68

Elijah Cummings, powerful member of the House of Representatives from Baltimore died at the age of 68. A strong and dedicated leader, Mr. Cummings will be missed. He was a giant of a man.

“He worked until his last breath because he believed our democracy was the highest and best expression of our collective humanity and that our nation’s diversity was our promise, not our problem,” said Ms. Cummings, his wife, who chairs the Maryland Democratic Party.

Yes he was. He was renowned for being able to work with both parties and will be sadly missed.

Elijah Cummings was an exemplary congressman for years. Bipartisan, fair, empathetic, energetic, humane, and kind. He will very much be missed. If there are/were angels, as he believed, he is dancing with them...
Rest in Peace.

What is truly remarkable when you look at his life and his accomplishments is he was only 68.
Truly a loss for his family, Baltimore, Maryland and the nation as a whole.

I was very moved by the speeches yesterday. I thought Obama's comment that Cummings was Honorable before he was a Congressman said it all.
