The Vermont House of Representatives formally seated Jack Brigham of St. Albans Town after Governor Philip B. Scott’s letter of appointment was read on the floor. The speaker announced that Brigham had taken his oath of office and instructed the sergeant at arms to escort him to Seat 115. The chair also appointed Representative Brigham to the Committee on Agriculture, Food Resiliency, and Forestry.
