Resignations, Deaths, and Appointments

Thomas L. Bromwell resigned from the Senate in 2002 to head the Maryland Injured Workers' Insurance Fund or IWIF, a state agency.[4] Governor Parris Glendening appointed John R. Schneider to replace Bromwell in District 8.[5] Schneider died only two months after his appointment, and Governor Glendening then appointed Joseph T. Ferraracci to the seat.[5] However, Ferraracci did not run for election in 2002. Neither Schneider or Ferraracci served in the legislature during session. Katherine A. Klausmeier ran for the seat as a Democrat and won.[6]

John W. E. Cluster Jr. was appointed as Delegate by Governor Bob Ehrlich in 2003 to replace Republican Alfred W. Redmer Jr., who was named Maryland Insurance Commissioner.

Joe Cluster was appointed by Governor Larry Hogan in 2016 to fill the vacancy of former Delegate John Cluster, his father, who resigned to serve on the Maryland Parole Commission.[7]

Carl Jackson was appointed by Governor Larry Hogan in 2019 to fill the vacancy of former Delegate Eric Bromwell, who resigned to serve as Baltimore County Opioid Strategy Coordinator.[8]

gollark: And that weird WASM kernel project.
gollark: There are *already* WASM shell things.
gollark: It's fast, lots of stuff compiles to it, and it's designed to be sandboxed.
gollark: WebAssembly would probably be better than JS for that.
gollark: Maybe they'll try and spin being stuck on 14nm as good, because it's a bigger number or something and therefore obviously better.
