Greenfield certifies election results and swears in new mayor, two councilmembers

The Greenfield City Council voted to adopt a resolution canvassing the results of the Nov. 8 general election, allowing newly elected officials to be sworn in.

After staff reported the register of voters certified the election on Nov. 30, the council approved the canvass resolution and held a formal swearing‑in for Mayor Robert White and councilmembers Angela Antelon and Rachel Ortiz. Each incoming official offered brief remarks emphasizing unity, community service and a commitment to working together.

Legislative staff from the offices of Assemblymember Robert Rivas and Senator Anna Caballero read resolutions honoring outgoing Mayor Lance Walker and outgoing councilmember Andrew “Drew” Tipton for their years of public service. Both honorees received proclamations from the council and offered farewell comments expressing gratitude and reflections on accomplishments during their terms.

The council also used the occasion to highlight recent community events, urge volunteerism and remind residents about holiday food drives and senior programs.
