Bryce Ellis sworn in as Robertson County commissioner for District 11 after 16–7 roll call win
Summary
Bryce Ellis was declared winner of the District 11 commission vote (16 to 7) and was sworn in during the June 16 meeting; the clerk administered the oath and commissioners congratulated the new member.
The Robertson County Commission filled its District 11 vacancy on June 16 when a roll‑call vote gave Bryce Ellis 16 votes to Bill Jones’s 7. After the clerk announced the tally—"Mister Ellis got 16"—the chair declared, "I do declare mister Ellis is the next county commissioner representing District 11."
Bryce Ellis then took the oath of office administered by the clerk and repeated the pledge of fidelity required for the post: “I, Bryce Ellis,” followed by the formal oath language. Commissioners and the mayor congratulated Ellis and members took photographs for a press notice.
Practical effect: Ellis assumes the duties of county commissioner for District 11 immediately and will participate in committees and votes going forward.
