Senator Ralph E. Masullo Jr. sworn in after special election; oath administered by Florida chief justice
Summary
The secretary of State certified Ralph E. Masullo Jr.'s special-election victory for Senate District 11 and Chief Justice Carlos Muniz administered the oath of office on the Senate floor.
The Senate read the secretary of State’s certification that Ralph E. Masullo Jr. was duly elected in a special election for Senate District 11, and Masullo was sworn in on the chamber floor.
A reading of the certification by the secretary of State preceded the oath: the secretary stated that the candidate was "duly elected" according to the office records. Chief Justice Carlos Muniz administered the oath to Senator Masullo. The transcript records the oath language in part and includes the phrase, repeated by the officer administering the oath, "So help me guide." After the oath, members congratulated Masullo and the presiding officer welcomed him to the Senate.
The swearing-in was followed by ceremonial remarks and an invitation for family members to proceed to the East Gallery for the State of the State joint session.
