Flags will fly at half-staff to honor Maryland state Senator Wayne Norman Jr. The lawmaker who represented Harford and Cecil counties, died yesterday at the age of 62. The cause of his death has not been released.
Governor Larry Hogan issued a statement saying "I know I am joined by the entire General Assembly and all state officials in praying for Senator Norman's family and friends as we honor his life and service."
Norman, an attorney and politician, was a member of the Maryland Senate, representing District 35 in Harford and Cecil counties. Norman was appointed to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2008 to fill the vacancy created when Delegate Barry Glassman was appointed to the Maryland State Senate to replace J. Robert Hooper who resigned because of illness. Glassman subsequently was elected as Harford County Executive, leaving a vacancy in the Senate seat. Norman was elected to that vacant Senate seat in the 2014 General Election. Norman maintained a law firm in Bel Air. He is survived by his wife Linda and two children.
