Niemann served for more than a decade in the House of Delegates representing Prince George’s County as a Democrat. He also held a number of other position in Prince George’s County, including on the school board and in the state’s attorney’s office.
Niemann, 77, died on May 1 at Washington Hospital Center. A former colleague told Maryland Matters that Niemann’s death was the result of complications from surgery to remove a tumor.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Karen, and three children — Cassi Niemann, Shea Niemann, and Travis Niemann — four grandchildren, and a brother.
Gov. Wes Moore (D) ordered flags to be flown and half-staff from sunrise to sunset on June 1 to honor Niemann.
