Following the death of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), his wife revealed that he was working until he died overnight.<\/p>\n

His wife, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, is the head of the Maryland Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongressman Cummings was an honorable man who proudly served his district and the nation with dignity, integrity, compassion and humility,\u201d Cummings said in a statement released on Thursday<\/a>. \u201cHe worked until his last breath because he believed our democracy was the highest and best expression of our collective humanity and that our nations diversity was our promise, not our problem. Its been an honor to walk by his side on this incredible journey. I loved him deeply and will miss him dearly.\u201d<\/p>\n

His office confirmed to news outlets that he ultimately succumbed to a number of health problems. He had entered Johns Hopkins Hospital for a heart procedure in September and never came back to Congress.<\/p>\n

The statement added that Cummings, the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, will be \u201cremembered for dedicating his lifes work to improving the lives of others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cummingss long career spanned decades in Maryland politics. He rose through the ranks of the Maryland House of Delegates before winning his congressional seat in a special election in 1996 to replace former Rep. Kweisi Mfume, who left the seat to lead the NAACP.<\/p>\n

He was also an early supporter of Barack Obamas presidential bid in 2008. By 2016, Cummings was the senior Democrat on the House Benghazi Committee, which he said was \u201cnothing more than a taxpayer-funded effort to bring harm to Hillary Clintons campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n
