Morgan County swears in five elected officials at brief ceremony
Summary
Five elected officials—two county commissioners, the county assessor, recorder and treasurer—took the oath of office at a Morgan County ceremony where each pledged to support the U.S. Constitution and the state constitution; no policy actions were taken.
Raylene Blocker, Janelle H. Walker, Sean Rose, Kimberly Reid Harrison and Michael L. Newton were sworn into their elected offices at a Morgan County swearing-in ceremony. Each recited the oath to “support, obey, and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this state” and to discharge the duties of their respective offices with fidelity.
The brief ceremony opened with a welcome from an event host, who invited participants to take photos with family or staff. The first official sworn was Raylene Blocker, who pledged to uphold the constitutions and to carry out the responsibilities of the Morgan County Commission. The host congratulated Blocker after the oath.
Janelle H. Walker then took the oath as Morgan County Assessor, followed by Sean Rose as Morgan County Recorder. Kimberly Reid Harrison was sworn in as Morgan County Treasurer. The final oath was administered to Michael L. Newton, who also took the oath to support both constitutions and to faithfully discharge his duties as a member of the Morgan County Commission.
No motions, votes or policy actions were recorded during the event. The host noted refreshments were delayed but would be available and invited attendees to stay for photos. The ceremony concluded with group photos and informal congratulations.
This event was ceremonial; officials took the statutory oath but no formal county business, votes, or appointments were conducted during this session.
