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 and went on to win the general election.[3][4] Kane was re-elected in 1982 and 1986.[1]

In 1990, Kane ran for delegate to Congress, but lost in the primary to Eleanor Holmes Norton.[5]
