		<description><![CDATA[Sen. Wayne Norman (R-35), a cheerful political presence in Harford and Cecil Counties who pursued a conservative legislative agenda and a personal agenda of kindness and humor, died suddenly Sunday at his home. He was unopposed for re-election in both the Republican primary and on the November general election ballot. Gov. Larry Hogan issued a statement, saying: “The First Lady and I are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Maryland State Senator H. Wayne Norman Jr., a distinguished public servant, husband, and father. Our hearts go out to Senator Norman’s wife, Linda, their two children, and granddaughter. “Senator Norman devoted decades of his life to serving his constituents in Harford and Cecil Counties, first at the local level, and then as a Delegate and Senator. His important and dedicated work on the Judicial Proceedings and Ethics Committees will not be soon forgotten, nor will his steadfast advocacy on behalf of rural Marylanders and our veterans.” Hogan added that state flags would be flown at half-staff in Norman’s honor Cecil County Executive Alan McCarthy said he was “deeply saddened by this shocking news and our thoughts and prayers are with the Norman family at this most difficult time.

		<description><![CDATA[Incumbent Republican E.J. Pipkin soundly defeated Democratic challenger Steven Mumford in the 36th District, including a strong win in Mumford&#8217;s homebase of Kent County and leading by strong margins in the three other counties of the District. [UPDATED with 1:37 am state elections board tally] Districtwide, Pipkin garnered 27,769 votes, or 63.6 percent, to Mumford&#8217;s 15,762, or 36.1 percent.

In Caroline county, Pipkin won 2,818 votes to Mumford&#8217;s 1,396. Heavily Republican Queen Anne&#8217;s county was key to Pipkin&#8217;s victory, giving him 12,663 votes to Mumford&#8217;s 5,451. The contest featured one of the more unlikely matchups in recent Upper Shore political history. Incumbent Republican Pipkin, a multi-millionaire retired junk bond dealer, was challenged by Mumford, a dancer-actor and historic homes renovator from Chestertown whose family has been active in Kent County Democratic politics for decades.
