12/13/2003: "Congressman Elijah Cummings, CBC Chair, Endorses Dean"

Chair of Congressional Black Caucus will serve on Dean Campaign's top national steering committee

ATLANTA--Congressman Elijah E. Cummings today endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Governor Howard Dean, M.D., citing Dean's commitment to creating well-paying jobs; assuring that all Americans receive high-quality, affordable health care; guaranteeing an empowering public education to all children, advancing the civil rights of all Americans and restoring America's security and moral credibility around the world.

"These are difficult and dangerous times for all Americans," Congressman Cummings declared. "These are times that cry out for a president of strength, moral conviction and balance --a president who will lead us in doing what must be done to defend our country while we also affirm the fundamental moral principles that bind us together as a nation. I am convinced that Governor Dean will be that president; and, today, I strongly endorse his candidacy."
