Grant County held a swearing-in ceremony where six elected officials took oaths of office, including three newly elected county commissioners and the senator-elect for District 28.

The ceremony opened with an emcee thanking the public for attending and noting the scope of the swearing-in: three new county commissioners, a clerk-elect, a treasurer beginning a second term and a senator-elect. The emcee acknowledged outgoing commissioners by name and praised their service to Grant County.

A presiding judge administered the oaths. During the oath sequence, the respondents recited the standard pledge to "support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the State of New Mexico" and to "faithfully and impartially discharge the duties" of their respective offices. The treasurer identified himself in the oath as Patrick Cahn. The clerk was sworn in as Connie Hogan. Nancy Lee Stevens took the oath for Grant County Commissioner District 3. Eddie Flores was sworn as Grant County Commissioner District 4, and Thomas Shelley as Grant County Commissioner District 5. Gabriel Ramos was sworn in as senator for District 28.

Direct lines from the official oath were repeated by each newly sworn official, including: "I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the State of New Mexico," and "I will faithfully and impartially discharge the duties" of the named office. Each official received congratulations from those present after taking the oath.

The emcee closed the formal portion of the event with thanks to the judge and to attendees. The ceremony did not record any motions or formal votes; it was ceremonial and administrative in nature.

What happens next: the newly sworn officials will assume the responsibilities of their offices according to the statutory terms for those positions; no additional procedural steps were recorded in the transcript.
