OXON HILL, Md. (AP) — Maya Rockeymoore Cummings says she is “strongly considering” running for governor of Maryland. She is married to U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md.
Rockeymoore Cummings, a Democrat, told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday that the health care debate in Washington has shown that Republicans in the nation’s capital are not considering the needs of women, children and minorities.
She says more decisions about important issues like health care will fall to state leaders, where governors will have a lot of say in who gets needed services.
She says she isn’t confident Republican Gov. Larry Hogan will make the right decisions on behalf of Maryland families.
Rockeymoore Cummings says she may announce a decision “within the next few weeks.”
