Grieving but gotta keep my eye on the prize. Can’t let a little thing like death get in between you and the money.

And they'll elect her her. I don't have a lot of sympathy for those who vote that crew and then wonder why they live in Baltigishu.

Agree with #9. I thought an election, even though a mere formality, was not required. This was done through the man's will or something.

Amazing. Cummings just died and the body is still warm and she is in there for the political fix of power. Politics is that addicting.

The Cummings family “owns” that congressional seat in the Baltimore minority community, just as we have seen from other such Districts, so it is going to be very hard for other minority candidates, the only candidates who have any chances to win, to change that fact.

Since he died servicing the country, it is now the Cummins's seat, much like the seats on the SCOTUS.

Hmmm. I seem to recall there was an ongoing investigation of her charity associated with Baltimore housing projects.
A typical corrupt black Dem that is above question.

Did Elijah die from poisoning? Might want to double check the toxicology. She’s probably wondering what took so long...

They have a "not for profit" foundation they used for personal gain. The charity has donors that had business before the committee that Cummings chaired.

A charity run by the wife of Rep. Elijah Cummings received millions from special interest groups and corporations that had business before her husband’s committee and could have been used illegally, according to an IRS complaint filed by an ethics watchdog group.
Cummings, 68, a Maryland Democrat, is chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. His wife, Maya Rockeymoore, 48, is the chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party and briefly ran in the state's gubernatorial race last year. The couple married in 2008. Cummings was once heavily in debt — in part due to hefty child support payments to his first wife and two other women he had children with — but his financial situation has improved considerably over the past decade.
Rockeymoore runs two entities, a nonprofit group called the Center for Global Policy Solutions and a for-profit consulting firm called Global Policy Solutions, LLC, whose operations appear to have overlapped, according to the IRS complaint filed by watchdog group the National Legal and Policy Center on Monday. The complaint states that the arrangement may have been used to derive "illegal private benefit.”

How is she going to continue on without Elijah's connections to Congress? Of course, make your own connection. Anybody with a heartbeat can keep a chair warm in the House. She obviously didn't marry ol' Froggy for his looks.

Poster #19's use of the word 'servicing' is spot on. Farmers also use bulls to 'service' cows, so yes, Elijah was servicing the country.

From what I have read about that couple, she and her corruption equaled that of her spouse. She is just as capable of serious grifting as he always was. Not a surprise that she would want the ultimate prize, especially to keep it in democrat hands.

Why they call it the House - because the House of Representatives is populated in significant numbers by family members of previous representatives of those political families. .
