Rep. Elijah Cummings’s widow Maya Rockeymoore is seen as the most likely successor to fill his congressional seat after his death on Thursday, sources told the Washington Examiner.
Rockeymoore, 48, who is currently the chairwoman of the Maryland Democratic Party, has a history of political involvement and ran unsuccessfully for Maryland governor in 2017. She married Cummings in 2008.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has 10 days to schedule a special election for Cummings’ seat and will likely set the date by the middle of next week, according to state political sources. The primary election is expected to take place next January and the general election in March.

She’s another corrupt, racist crook currently under investigation for fraud.
Oh, please, someone who is not corrupt please run.
From the frying pan into the fire; Cummings district constituents should be outraged; they need help, not another idiot getting wealthy off their backs.
I bet this feminist now will take his last name only to have name recognition, while she is running for his seat.
TRUMP WHERE IS THE INVESTIGATION INTO THERE ,, "NON PROFIT" ???? MY GOD EVERYONE KNOWS THERE THEVIES.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
He was in hospice running a impeachment on the sitting elected President?! Now his highly conflicted corrupt nut case wife gets his seat just because she was married to him? This is not America we ARE BETTER.
His wife should never get in the House bad enough she is just as corrupt as him. She should also be removed as chairwoman this is not an improvement.
“We” are better?
Hilarious
The government is not “ours”.
This isn’t the Country you read about in Fairy Tales.
The US government is the most corrupt entity on the planet. It is the vehicle by which the richest people in the world enslave populations in every Country in the world. This is open face corruption of the most extreme kind.
Wake up from that dream world you learned in high school.
THE FBI needs to do a 5am raid on her "Non profit".
Exactly, 8:31,
for every politician that exits office, there's another just as bad on reserve.
Corruption and ineptness know no season.
replace him with another corrupt POL...Stop this Madness NOW!
Maybe the former Mayor of Baltimore could run. She's just as corrupt.
BHAA BHAA BHAA BHAA, what’s I’d tell you. I knew she’d want his seat and duties handed to her. She’s the only person who understood the great and powerful Elijah and his connection as “one of the people”. Wonderful. Just simply wonderful.
She is already under investigation and these Dumbass Baltimoreans are allowing her to run.
WHERE is the arrest ?.
The f.b.i. needs to be dissolved. They are crooked as hillary, can't be trusted.
She belongs in jail.
While being investigated for foundation corruption. Yep. Maryland seems to love it’s corruption. Even when one corrupt leader dies, they’re in a sure fire hurry to elect another one to replace. Maybe Maryland would be better off if you stopped voting for corruption year after year. See Jake Day and Salisbury City Council.
One crook out...........another one in.
She can run for his seat in the House, but not the position on the powerful committee that he chaired. He got that position through seniority. She can't run for his seniority. She will start out as a low raking house member, like all the others started out.
How come no white peoples are trying to get dat job ?
