Before being elected to Gloucester council, Cain was an assistant to the council and a press secretary for the Carleton Separate School board.[1] In 1991, Cain defeated incumbent mayor Harry Allen, in part due to an unpopular tax increase during Allen's tenure as mayor..[2] She was able to reduce municipal taxes during her time as mayor.[3]
