Monroe County Swears In David Winters as 2nd District Commissioner

Monroe County commissioners appointed and administered the oath of office to David Winters as the county commissioner for the 2nd District, replacing Matt Williams. The appointment was introduced on the floor, a nomination was made and seconded, and the commission proceeded to swear Winters in.

The vice chairman (unnamed in the transcript) nominated Winters, saying, “Madam Chairman, as, Vice Chairman, I'd like to go ahead and nominate David Winters.” A colleague seconded the nomination and the chair called for a roll-call vote to confirm the appointment; the transcript does not include a recorded tally. An official then administered the oath of office, reciting the formal pledge to support the Constitution of the United States and to faithfully perform the duties of the office.

David Winters, after being sworn in, thanked the commission and offered brief remarks about his priorities. "I just really enjoyed getting up here and start working with you. We got a great county, and I want to keep it as a great county," Winters said. He added that he appreciated the opportunity to serve and sign the oath.

The transcript records one inconsistent spelling of the outgoing commissioner’s name (appearing as "Mac Williams" in one line and "Matt Williams" elsewhere); the replacement is recorded as David Winters. The record shows the formal steps of nomination, second, and oath, but the meeting transcript does not include a published roll-call tally for the confirmation.

The appointment fills the 2nd District seat and the commission proceeded after the oath and brief remarks. No additional motions or substantive policy actions related to the appointment are recorded in the transcript.
