Senate Swears In Sheldon Kilpack to Fill Davis County Vacancy
Summary
The Utah Senate on June 3, 2003, swore in Sheldon Kilpack to fill a vacancy from Davis County. Kilpack introduced family members and received the Senate pin; leadership confirmed no separate seating vote was required unless opposed.
The Utah State Senate on June 3 swore in Sheldon Kilpack as the member representing the Davis County vacancy left by a recent resignation. Senate leadership said the governor had forwarded Kilpack’s name following selection by Davis County delegates, and that the chamber does not require a separate vote to seat an appointee unless a motion to oppose is made.
Kilpack addressed colleagues after the oath, thanking them and introducing family members who attended. "It's been an interesting couple of weeks," he said, and thanked senators for their support. Leadership presented him with the official senate pin and invited him to take his seat and participate in votes for the remainder of the day's business.
The swearing-in proceeded without objection. President and other senators welcomed Kilpack and noted the procedure followed existing practice for appointees; a staff member confirmed the earlier roll call would apply to the extraordinary session with Kilpack added. The Senate moved on to other ceremonial and confirmation business after the brief welcoming remarks.
The chamber then recessed into other orders of business, including a centennial citation and confirmation votes on a slate of governor's appointments.
