Team,

Today, I am devastated by the loss of Congressman Elijah Cummings. He was a fierce champion of justice, a moral leader, and a dear mentor to me. I am holding his entire family in my heart.

Every day, Congressman Cummings woke up and fought for the people in the district he was raised in. He fought for future generations. Now, we must wake up each day and continue his fights to stand up against hate, lift up the American people, and protect our democracy.

Congressman Cummings worked tirelessly to make prescription drugs affordable and accessible. He took on the fearless work of investigating pharmaceutical companies to hold them accountable for price gouging. His service was powered by people.

In the face of Donald Trump's corruption and racism, Congressman Cummings never stood down. He spoke truth to power -- especially when it was inconvenient. He never let Trump's despicable attacks stop him from doing his job.

I will never forget Congressman Cummings' words when speaking out for the legacy we're leaving behind: "Our children are the living messages we send to a future we will never see. The question is how will we send them into that future. Will we rob them of their destiny? Will we rob them of their dreams? No."

Rest in power, my mentor and friend.
