The Public Record
Elijah E. Cummings was a prominent American politician and civil rights advocate who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from Maryland's 7th congressional district from 1996 until his death in 2019.

Never again should a military family worry that the bank will seize their home while their loved one is serving overseas or after their loved one has made the ultimate sacrifice.
This bill seeks to end predatory foreclosures on military families by extending SCRA protection for families whose loved ones are not only deployed, but also permanent and total disabled.
It seems clear from the evidence that you wanted to take full advantage of the HUBZone program, and not to help D.C. residents.
I live in a HUBZone-type area where businesses are struggling. So I want the programs to work properly.
