Seminole County swears in Commissioners Bob Dilari and Lee Constantine
Summary
Seminole County held a short swearing-in ceremony for Commissioners Bob Dilari (District 1) and Lee Constantine (District 3). Both repeated the oath of office and gave remarks thanking family, staff and supporters; Constantine recalled nearly 50 years in public service.
The Seminole County Commission held a ceremonial swearing-in for two commissioners at a brief event that opened with an invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Judge McIntosh administered the oath of office to Commissioner Bob Dilari (District 1) and Commissioner Lee Constantine (District 3). Dilari repeated the oath pledging to "support, protect, and defend" the constitutions of the United States and Florida and to "faithfully perform the duties of the Seminole County Commission." After his oath, Commissioner Dilari thanked family and campaign supporters and said he was "truly, truly a humbling experience to serve you as citizens here in Seminole County." (Speaker: Bob Dilari)
Lee Constantine, sworn in for District 3, delivered extended remarks recalling his long public career and family support. Constantine said the term would bring 50 years in public office: "When this term is over, it'll be 50 years that I've been in public office." He also highlighted county partnerships and local staff, and cited charitable fundraising tied to county events — "we've raised over $7,000,000" for charity efforts linked to his initiatives. (Speaker: Lee Constantine)
The ceremony included an invocation led by Father Blewett and the Pledge of Allegiance led by Darren Gray. The moderator closed by inviting attendees to photos and refreshments in the atrium; several local elected officials were recognized in the audience, including the property appraiser, tax collector and the clerk of courts.
