Cummings (MD-07), issued the following statement on the death of four term Washington, DC Mayor Marion Barry Jr.: “Mayor Barry made an indelible impact on our nation’s capital during his time as Mayor, striving to lift those without means to better lives. His efforts to offer economic opportunities to the city’s poorest residents, and tireless work to bring minorities into its governance helped to build the capital we know today. “Mayor Berry made countless contributions to the civil rights movement, to building the city’s infrastructure, and to developing an inclusive government. That impact will remain for generations yet unborn. My prayers are with his family at this difficult time.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
