A huge congrats to Sydney Barber, who will be the first Black woman to lead Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy. Your hard work—and the powerful example you set—are such an inspiration. I’m so proud of you! https://t.co/Y9PAZasj7R

You are the inspiration. Your words were with me every late night and moment of doubt on this journey. Your strength, drive, brilliance and grace is what carried me through. Thank you @MichelleObama for leaving the ladder down. I look forward to meeting you at the top.

When the history books are written about this tumultuous era, I want them to show that I was among those in the House of Representatives who stood up to lawlessness and tyranny.

Elijah Cummings was the rarest of politicians- he was a man of substance and of grace; fierce in his determination to protect those without a voice and implacable in his search for the truth. Our nation has lost a truly great public servant. https://t.co/nyTHTYKZpj

America has lost a hero, and I have lost a dear friend. Elijah Cummings was the conscience of Congress. His North Star was helping people, and his legacy runs deep from the neighborhoods of Baltimore to the halls of the House. Keeping his family and Maryland in my prayers today.

Elijah Cummings was the heart and soul of our caucus, a dignified leader with a voice that could move mountains.

He was our moral and ethical North Star. Now we will be guided by his powerful memory and incomparable legacy.

Rest In Peace, my friend.

Our nation has lost a mighty fighter for democracy, accountability, equity and justice with the tragic loss of Congressman Elijah Cummings. He never forgot that his was borrowed power, which he wielded in defense of the vulnerable and on behalf of the American people. #RIPElijah

Elijah Cummings was a dedicated public servant with 36 years of combined service in the MD House of Delegates and in Congress. A great American. His passing is a tremendous loss for the people of Baltimore and for the country. #RipElijah https://t.co/GOiA6jyhL0
