[edit] Background
William Frank is a member of the Maryland House of Delegates, representing District 42, which covers a part of Baltimore County. Prior to 2002, District 42 was represented by Democrats James W. Campbell, Maggie L. McIntosh, and Samuel I. Rosenberg [1]. However, after the district lines were redrawn, McIntosh moved to District 43 and Rosenberg moved to District 41, where they both won reelection. On the other hand, Campbell remained in District 42, but was defeated by a host of new Republicans, including Frank, Susan Aumann, and John G. Trueschler.[2]
In 2006, Frank won relection, along with Susan Aumann. Incumbent Trueschler did not run for reelection.[3] In his stead, Democrat Stephen W. Lafferty won his seat.[4]
