Three-Way Race To Replace Sen. Pipkin: Hershey, Smigiel, Sossi

Three-term Del. Michael Smigiel of Cecil County will now have to compete against a close colleague in District 36 to fill the seat vacated by Senate Republican Leader E.J. Pipkin, who is moving to Texas.

Freshman Del. Steve Hershey, R- Queen Anne’s, said he will enter his name for consideration with the Republican central committees of Caroline, Cecil, Kent, and Queen Anne’s counties — saying there is currently “no clear cut favorite.”

Former Del. Richard Sossi, defeated by Hershey in a close 2010 race, said he will also file.
