Town of Mount Pleasant certifies special election results and swears in council member-elect Mike

The Town of Mount Pleasant on March 28, 2025 adopted a resolution declaring the results of the March 25 special election and administered the oath of office to the council member-elect, Mike, after a brief meeting.

Presiding official moved to approve the resolution and an unnamed second followed. The presiding official read the resolution aloud saying the winner of the election "with 2,289 votes was mister Mike" and called for a voice vote. "All in favor of the resolution, please say aye," the presiding official said. An attendee replied, "Aye," and the presiding official said the resolution passed.

The resolution as read names the March 25, 2025 special election winner with 2,289 votes. The meeting record does not provide a roll-call tally or identify a motion maker or seconder by name; the adoption was recorded as a voice vote and the precise vote count for the resolution itself was not specified.

After the resolution passed, the presiding official administered the oath of office to council member-elect Mike. During the oath Mike repeated portions of the oath, including "I do solemnly swear," "to the best of my ability," and the closing phrase, "So help me God." The presiding official congratulated Mike and invited him to "come around and get to work."

There were no other substantive agenda discussions or public comments recorded in the meeting. The presiding official adjourned the special meeting shortly after the oath; one attendee remarked the meeting was "finished in less than 5 minutes."
