Cummings Supports Rawlings-Blake's Mayoral Bid

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Rep. Elijah Cummings is showing his support for Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's mayoral campaign. 

Cummings' official announcement of his endorsement of the mayor's campaign earlier this month was postponed so he could be in Washington for federal budget negotiations. But the event has now been rescheduled for Thursday morning at Mondawmin Mall. 

Cummings has said he is endorsing Rawlings-Blake because of her "strong economic plan, successful fight against crime and her inspiring vision to move Baltimore forward."
