The Congressional Black Caucus Welcomes Rep. Kweisi Mfume
Last week, Kweisi Mfume was sworn in as the newest Member of
the U.S. House of Representative for Maryland’s 7th
congressional district, succeeding Elijah Cummings, who died
last October.
The return to Congress comes full circle, as Mfume reclaims
the same seat that he held for 10 years before stepping down
to become the President of the NAACP. During his tenure in
Congress, Representative Mfume also served as the chairman
of the Congressional Black Caucus from 1993-1995.
Mfume’s return to the Congressional Black Caucus comes at a
critical time in our nation during this pandemic. The CBC
looks forward to working with Rep. Mfume during this
historic moment to identify, fight for, and win the best
legislative change to help the black community not just
survive this pandemic but to prepare to thrive in the
aftermath.
The Congressional Black Caucus welcomes Representative
Kweisi Mfume back to the U.S. House of Representatives and
his leadership in Maryland’s 7th district.
