A mix of familiar and new faces were sworn into office last Tuesday afternoon to take over a number of elected county positions.
In front of a judge and crowd of masked onlookers at the front of the Alachua County courthouse, the newly elected officials took the oath of office to lead one of the following departments: Supervisor of Elections, Tax Collector, State Attorney, Property Appraiser, Public Defender, Clerk of Court and Sheriff’s Office.
While a few seats were won by longstanding elected officials, a few were won by new people.
Former Assistant State Attorney Brian Kramer officially took over for the departing Bill Cervone who’s held the seat for 20 years.
