Bittersweet moment for my returning Representative

The Black Caucus @TheBlackCaucus 34m.
@TheBlackCaucus welcomes Rep. Kweisi Mfume back to the U.S. House of Representatives and his leadership in Maryland’s 7th district, succeeding Elijah Cummings, who died last October. His return comes full circle, as Mfume reclaims the same seat that he held for 10 years.

...all of the deserved admiration, respect, and regard that I held for my Rep., Elijah Cummings, I've also held for Kweisi Mfume - his dedication, diligence, and competence sorely missed since he left Congress to serve as president and CEO of the NAACP (for 9 years) so very long ago.
