Rudy Cane Files for Re-Election In House of Delegates

msa.maryland.gov

Incumbent Rudy Cane will seek another term in the House of Delegates.

The 79-year old Eastern Shore Democrat formally submitted his papers and told the Salisbury Daily Times, “Politics is a part of me.”

But he is getting a challenge from Wicomico County Council member Sheree Sample Hughes who formally entered the race in July.

Observers say expect an uphill battle for her challenge against Cane who outdistanced a 2010 challenge by 80 percent in the primary.

Cane’s record last legislative session includes a vote against gun control and the legalization of same-sex marriage.

He has also voted to repeal the death penalty and for in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants.
