Ralls County Elected Officials Sworn In

by Laurie Means

The official Swearing-In Ceremony was held on Thursday, December 31, 2020, in the County Commission meeting room. Due to COVID restrictions, the ceremony was moved from the upstairs courtroom, where is had been held in the past. The officials were also limited in how many spectators they could invite. Under the supervision of Ralls County Clerk, Sandy Lanier, the officials took turns entering the room with their supporters to take their pledge and sign their paperwork. It took a little longer than usual and there was no reception this year, but the process was completed to the cheers of all in attendance.
