Nineteen Democrats have filed for the House of Delegates seat left vacant by Alice Cain, who resigned unexpectedly in mid-March. The Democratic Central Committee will select one name on April 16 to send to the governor for formal appointment.
In a move that took the state by surprise, Delegate Alice Cain announced her resignation from the House at the conclusion of the legislative session, citing family circumstances.
The Blue Wave has led to big Democratic gains in the House of Delegates and crushed Republicans’ “Drive for Five” dreams of a Senate powerless to override Governor Hogan’s vetoes.
