BALTIMORE — Voters in the congressional district that U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings represented until his death earlier this month will elect his replacement in a special election announced Monday.
Cummings had represented Maryland's 7th Congressional District since 1996. The Democrat died Oct. 17 at age 68 of complications from longstanding health issues. The majority-black district includes parts of Baltimore and portions of Howard and Baltimore counties. Although some parts face entrenched poverty and violent crime, the district also includes affluent areas and famous landmarks such as Johns Hopkins University and its hospital, the Social Security Administration, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
State law calls for a primary election to be held at least 65 days after the governor issues a proclamation. It also requires that the general election be held at least 65 days after the primary.
