Rockeymoore Cummings, chairwoman of the Maryland Democratic Party, remembered her husband of more than 20 years, saying in a statement that he was “an honorable man who proudly served his district and the nation with dignity, integrity, compassion and humility.”

Former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has also been floated as Cummings’ possible successor.
