Kimberly Klacik Is Operating For Elijah Cummings’ Seat

Kimberly Klacik, a GOP activist and Donald Trump supporter, is reportedly operating for the late Rep. Elijah Cummings’ Congressional seat.

In response to the New York Submit, Klacik, who’s African-American, joins a crowded discipline of a minimum of 4 Republicans and 11 Democrats who’ve already introduced their run to characterize the Baltimore district. The candidates embrace Cummings’ widow Maya Rockeymoore Cummings for a face off in an April particular election.

Maryland’s seventh Congressional District is majority African-American and has by no means been within the palms of the Republican occasion.

Klacik is probably finest identified for being the supply of the president’s Twitter tirade towards Cummings and his district, which he known as “rat-infested.”

“Elijah Cummings has failed badly!” he wrote July 28. “Baltimore, underneath the management of Elijah Cummings, has the worst Crime Statistics within the Nation. 25 years of all speak, no motion!” Trump added a day later.

Klacik tweeted on July 27, “Extra trash. Extra involved residents. Individuals dwell within the residence with the silver van. That is @RepCummings district. This has nothing to do with race. Allow us to all pray the town removes the trash & set up cameras to catch the people dumping on the property. #WestBaltimore.”

She later informed the Baltimore Solar: “I’ve seen firsthand what lots of people are going by means of. Our violent crime is up 52 p.c in Baltimore County and it’s rising in Baltimore Metropolis, too. I don’t suppose it’s a coincidence.”

This newest information comes as Donald Trump is pushing to realize extra help from the Black group. On Friday (November eight), he launched his “Black Voices for Trump” coalition in Marietta, Georgia.
