Bobby Franklin was sworn in as Road Commissioner representing the Fourth Zone at the Wilson County Road Commission meeting on Aug. 7, 2025.
The oath was given during the commission's opening business by a presiding official, who administered the pledge and the oath that Franklin repeated, including a vow to support the constitutions of Tennessee and the United States and to faithfully perform the duties of the office.
The swearing-in was part of the commission’s routine opening agenda and was followed by approval of the meeting minutes and the start of the public comment and staff-report portions of the meeting. No vote was recorded as part of the swearing-in itself.
The oath completes the formal assumption of duties for the Fourth Zone seat; commissioners proceeded to routine business after the ceremony.
