Congressman Cummings believed in the power of government to improve lives, and he was a champion for those who needed a strong voice for them in Washington. He dedicated his life to the people of the Baltimore region, and we are better for his service. May he Rest In Peace.

A great man we wished, you'd stay a little more, but God loves you, Rest in the bosom of The Lord.
