Baltimore, Md.— Today, Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (Md-07) released the following statement in response to the death of George Winfield, the director of Baltimore City’s public works department:
“George Winfield, who graduated from Howard University a year before I did, fully encompassed what it means to be a true public servant. As the director of public works, he faced some of the City’s most difficult infrastructure problems head-on and effectively solved them using the people’s best interests as his guide. For three decades, Mr. Winfield consistently synchronized his high standards and constant pursuit of excellence with his conduct.
“Although many of the vital tasks undertaken by Mr. Winfield were not always readily seen by the public, they were essential to the health and safety of every member of our community. His relentless service and dedication has improved the very essence of this great City, and he will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, and it is my hope that they will be offered some comfort in the knowledge that the character and work of this great man will have a lasting impact on us all.”
