Elijah Cummings House Member And Statesman Passes Away At 68

I read this morning that his widow will be vying for his congressional seat. It’s not that unusual for the surviving spouse to step into the job.

It should be.

Some nice speeches at the memorial today. Including Mitch McConnell. A rare moment of class for him.

Glad to hear that!

I was about and out running errands so I missed it all.

Until he was dead, voted out of office, or officially declared incapable of performing his duties there is simply no standing for any challenge lawsuit to his performing his duties.
