Betty Ann Kane
Betty Ann Kane was elected an at-large member of the Council of the District of Columbia in 1978 and served for 12 years.[1] Kane is now a commissioner on the District of Columbia Public Service Commission.[2]
Kane was a nonresident elected city commissioner for Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, from 1996 to 2005.
Political career
Kane was elected to the D.C. school board in 1974.[2]
In 1978, at-large city council member Douglas E. Moore decided to run for council chairman rather than for reelection, and Kane took the opportunity to run for the seat he was vacating.[1] She narrowly defeated H.R. Crawford in the Democratic primary[3] and went on to win the general election.[4] Kane was reelected in 1982 and 1986.[1]
In 1990, Kane ran for delegate to Congress but lost in the primary to Eleanor Holmes Norton.[5]
