It was sad to read that Democratic congressman and civil rights activist Elijah Cummings died early this morning.
He always struck me as eloquent, balanced, and truly interested in serving the best interests of his constituents and the American people.

Cummings represented Baltimore/Maryland for 12 terms, securing over 75% of the votes in his last run.
He'd been the Chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee since the Democrats took back the House of Representatives last year.
Cummings was 68 and died of yet unspecified health complications. Rest in peace.
