A freshman delegate has resigned from the House of Delegates after completing the abbreviated 2020 General Assembly session.

Del. Alice Cain, in an email to supporters Thursday, announced her resignation.

“My family circumstances have changed in unforeseen and unfortunate ways in recent months — well before COVID-19,” Cain wrote in an email obtained by The Daily Record. “Despite these changes, I was committed to staying until the end of Session given the high stakes of this year’s legislation, especially the once-in-a-generation education reform bill that the House passed, with my vote, last night. Now it is time for me to turn my attention back to my family in ways that my role in the House of Delegates has not allowed.”

Cain, a Democrat representing District 30A in Anne Arundel County, was elected to the House in 2018.
