WASHINGTON, D.C. (WMAR) - Congressman Elijah Cummings, of Maryland, is back on Capitol Hill.
The 67-year-old Democrat was off the job for a few months after he developed a knee infection in late December.
Cummings went through two surgeries afterward, along with physical therapy.
He was away from Washington, D.C. for a similar amount of time last year because of surgery to repair a heart valve.
Cummings is seeking a 13th term in Congress.
