The Democrat who formerly held the seat of the late Rep. Elijah Cummings re-won the position in Maryland’s special election Tuesday and will finish the term off in Congress.
Kweisi Mfume held the seat in the 7th Congressional District — a heavily Democratic and predominantly black region — for five terms before leaving to lead the NAACP.
Mfume easily defeated Republican Kimberly Klacik in a contest that was pared down to just three polling stations due to the coronavirus, and where voters were encouraged to mail in their ballots ahead of time.
He will serve out the rest of Cummings’ term, which ends in January, and also run as the incumbent in Maryland’s June primary to be the nominee for a full term in November.
