“We are devastated by the passing of Congressman Elijah Cummings, known to many as ‘the conscience of the House’ and Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Cummings was uncompromising in his commitment to the values that truly define what makes America great, including equality and justice for all. Congressman Cummings’ remarkable legacy serves as an inspiration to all who aspire to lead with their values, and the Jewish community is incredibly grateful to Rep. Cummings for his persistent leadership, partnership and support,’ Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) Vice Chair and MD Board Member Barbara Goldberg Goldman said in a statement.
