Jon McKane and John McCain

The current representative for House District 51 sees some mild inconveniences approaching as he runs for reelection this year.

He’s adopted the campaign slogan “Vote for McKane, any way you spell it.”

It makes sense, as state Rep. Jon McKane, R-Newcastle, supports U.S. Sen. John McCain, the presidential candidate. Still, McKane said, he’ll try to go by “Jonathan” a bit more this election cycle.

“People get confused,” McKane said. “They say, ‘I can’t vote for John McCain, he’s not in my district.”

He laughed. “It’s going to be a real pain in the butt,” McKane said.
