Cummings (MD-07), issued the following statement on the Thanksgiving Holiday. “Thanksgiving signals the start of the holiday season, a time to gather with family and friends. On this day each year, Americans across the country will sit down to a meal, give thanks for the people and things that matter most, and reflect on the history of our nation. That history is one of compassion, progress, and equality. Yet for too many Americans, a Thanksgiving meal is just out of reach, the result of a slow economic recovery or other hardship. They are veterans still seeking work, parents with part-time jobs, and children who will shape our future. We will never reach our true potential without reaching back to support them. “While we give thanks and reflect, we must also ensure that we strive to embody the values that built this country. I am thankful every day to live in the greatest nation on earth, and proud to proud to continue the fight to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve the American dream.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
