Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, 48, announced her candidacy to serve out the remainder of her husband’s term in Maryland’s 7th Congressional District a day after resigning her post as chair of the state’s Democratic Party.

She ran for governor in 2017 but dropped out of the race after her husband was hospitalized in January 2018.

"Ya gotta carry on as my successor, Maya, otherwise you'll have to get a real job"
She revealed in a separate Baltimore Sun interview that she was going through with a preventive double mastectomy planned for Friday, as scheduled and discussed with her husband before his death.
