Elected Pettis County Officials Sworn In At Courthouse
In attendance were friends and relatives of elected officials, such as that of Sheriff-Elect Brad Anders.
“It s a great feeling,” Anders remarked after the brief ceremony.
“It s overwhelming,” Anders said when asked about his feelings about the process of becoming sheriff of Pettis County. “The responsibility, the honor of being elected to this position is just overwhelming.”
Anders admitted it s time to go to work. “There s a lot of things to do, and we re going to hit it from day one,” he said.
Dr. Anders officially takes office at midnight Jan. 1. He replaces longtime Sheriff Kevin Bond, who served 34 years, after defeating him in the November 3 general election.
