Elijah was an honorable man who worked tirelessly for all people, serving Maryland's 7th Congressional District, and our nation, with dignity and compassion.
Elijah was one of our nation's most thoughtful elected officials, and he had a sincere interest in the lives and well-being of children. He will truly be missed.
