Four Marion County elected officials took the oath of office shortly after noon Dec. 20 at the Marion County courthouse.
Marion County Judge/Executive John G. Mattingly, Marion County Jailer Barry Brady, Marion County Sheriff-Elect Jimmy Clements and Marion County Clerk Karen Spalding took the oath of office. Circuit Judge Allan Bertram administered the oath.
Mattingly, Brady and Spalding were re-elected Nov. 2. Sheriff-elect Clements does not officially become the sheriff until Jan. 1, but he was required to take the oath of office on or before that date.
PVA Terry Rakes took the oath of office and started his term earlier this month.
The county magistrates, all of whom won re-election, renewed their oaths of office during the Dec. 16 fiscal court meeting.
