Cummings, a widely respected senior lawmaker and civil rights advocate, died in October at the age of 68 from health complications.

Despite playing a leading role in the impeachment inquiry, the Maryland Democrat managed to maintain strong relationships with members on both sides of the aisle. He was first elected to the House in 1996 and served as the leading Democrat on the committee from 2011 until the time of his death.

Maloney was selected to lead the panel shortly after Cummings passed away.
