Delegate Rudy Cane Donates $6,000.00 To Hughes Campaign

This politician is so full of crap it isn't funny. I was tipped off about a headline story in the Daily Times this morning about how Rudy Cane actually donated $6,000.00 to Sharee Sample Hughes campaign.

He claimed that when he made the donation he was ill and didn't have plans to run again. Now he claims that a different Doctor informed him he would be healthy enough to POSSIBLY finish the race. In fact he said, “I hope I’ll be able to finish the primary and the general.”

Get this, Sheriff Mike Lewis, Matt Holloway, Norm Conway and NAACP President Mary Ashanti have ALL donated to her campaign as well. 

Like I said in the past, I'd bet just about anything that Rudy Cane will back out on the last day with the hope of discouraging ANYONE else filing for that Delegate seat. Will the trick work?

Smart move by sheriff Lewis. He needs all the write offs he can get from all the money he makes outside the sheriff's department.

So you are saying Mike Lewis, Matt Holloway, Norm Conway and Mary Ashanti know that Cane is backing out so that is is the reason they donated to the Sharee Sample Hughes campaign.

Are these donations hearsay or is there a listing of donations to Hughes we can see?

This shows the total lack of character of Rudy Cane and Sherri Sample-Hughes. I hope the voters will see this for what it is and someone will step up to run for this office. The people deserves better representation that this.

I can't imagine why Mike Lewis and Matt Holloway would donate.

anonymous 8:59, It's a smart move on Mike's behalf. Odds are, (should no one else file) Sharee will win and the Sheriff's Department as a whole should have a god relationship with ALL Delegates on the Eastern Shore. The fact that Rudy, (at one point) stated he wasn't going to run, it opened the door for Mike to support Sharee without any retaliation from Rudy. Give the man credit, he knows how to work the system and in this case has done so perfectly.

Bet Sample-Hughes will support giving a raise to Mike Lewis and Matt Holloway

The central comm. should call on Mike Lewis and Matt Holloway to explain this one.

Matt Holloway is nothing more than a Rino and Rick Pollitt's yes sir boy.

Rudy and Sherri's excuses don't carry water. Strange things happen but this is a farce. Someone from that district needs to step forward and run for the office. Rudy is attempting to control that office and we the people have had enough of Rudy Cane mentality. Now we know Sherri is just a replay of him.

Rudy and Sherri's tales of two campaigns doesn't pass the smell test.

And these are the best two from that district to be offered on a ballot? I think not. Lack of honesty is not something that we need to represent this community.

I think the biggest thing Wicomico County residents need to think about and realize is that most, (if not all) campaigns on the Eastern Shore consist of some kind of trickery.

It used to be about the person and what they could offer. Now it's all about defaming, games and trickery, including questionable electronic ballot results.

You can't forget the local Press and their special interests. It's no longer about what's best for the Shore. I have seen our local media on EVERY occasion favor candidates and refuse to publish important information from those candidates they refuse to support.

In Salisbury News case, we clearly let people know we are for or against certain candidates, yet we publish any and all press releases from all sides. We allow YOU to make the final cal on who you'll vote for and not mislead you along the way.

The trickery needs to end, the Press needs to openly allow both sides and "We The People" need to hold the Press and the Candidates accountable for their actions and or the lack there of.

If the Newspaper lies or only tells you one side, you need to cancel your subscription, period. If they lie and continue to participate with such trickery, YOU become a part of the problem because YOU only see one side. How's it been working for you over the last 20 years?

Mike Lewis has done nothing but tried to grab attention from the media since he was elected. I'am glad you have exposed the facts about him. Keep up the good work Joe.

anonymous 10:38, Our job is to expose facts at all levels no matter who it is. I in no way am attempting to harm or defame Sheriff Lewis in any way, shape or form. I also do not hide the fact that I do support Mike Lewis for Sheriff and his potential pay raise. I'd argue that I believe that raise is steep on the Taxpayers and perhaps unfair on the rest of the hard working employees of the County who got a much lower percentage increase in their pay.

Lewis & Holloway were under no obligation to contribute to Sample-Hughes, and nobody would think less of them if they didn't send a dime.

But if they want to run and be elected as Republicans they deserve a lot of derision now, and a great deal of thought before anyone pulls a lever with their name on it again.

They look like OweMalley, Pollitt, Ireton lapdogs!

You may be right about Cane pulling out to let her win...or him winning, then resigning for her to get the appointment.

She seems like a nice lady, but not much on good decisions.

Cane Is Able LOL This dude is nothing more than another Board OF Ed mack daddy puppet, just like Stormin Norman Conway. Hughes husband is Dez Hughess from Wicomico County Board of Ed.

Turds of a feather float together. I am not sure what Lewis' play is here Joe. I think it is a little spooky if you know what I mean. He is supposed to be a hard corp Repub. As for Matt I get him giving money to her. That poor boys nose has never had fresh air through it. All his breathing has been done through his mouth.
