The Maryland Democrat said he has been weighing a potential run since Sen. Barbara Mikulski announced 11 months ago she would not seek another Senate term. Cummings said he’s mindful that serving in the Senate presented a great opportunity, but the broader consequences of the 2016 elections are more important than his own future. The congressman cited the elections for U.S. president, the Maryland Senate seat and the Baltimore mayor’s office.
“With all of these challenges in mind, it is critical that we all work together to elect strong, progressive leadership up and down the ticket in 2016 — and I believe that I can best serve the people of our city, our state and our nation by continuing my work in Congress, by continuing to touch people in every part of our great nation and by leading an united effort to elect progressives across the board — rather than by focusing upon one single Senate race,” Cumming said.

ReplyDeleteI hope that racist dimwit goes away. Not only is he hopelessly cluelessly stupid, but a real bigot as well.

ReplyDeleteHob knobs with Oprah ,Spike, Obama and the rest of the White lives must die crowd! Sickening how these people keep office.
ReplyDeleteWho is running against him in the House? Maybe we can get someone to take him on in the primaries!
ReplyDeleteHopefully a Republican will gain that seat. I think most Marylanders are pretty fed up with Democrats.
ReplyDeleteHe knows that he would lose big time in a Senate race so he would end up with nothing for his efforts. It's much easier to keep fooling the voters of his district that it is to fool the voters of the entire state.
ReplyDeleteJust my 2 cents, I could be wrong.
He's an example of all that's wrong with Congress.
