Sophocleus’ Widow Appointed to Finish His Term in Maryland House
Sophocleus was recommended July 2 as a replacement for her husband in the House of Delegates by the Anne Arundel County Democratic Central Committee. She will represent District 32 until Jan. 9, 2019, the end of her late husband’s four-year term.
“While we are still shocked and saddened by the news of Delegate Sophocleus’ sudden passing, it is our responsibility to make sure that all Marylanders are fully represented in our legislature,” Hogan said in announcing the appointment. “Alice Sophocleus is a dedicated member of the community she will be representing, and I am confident she will serve the constituents of District 32 well.”
