Representative David Susi sworn in and seated; appointed to House health care committee

Representative David Susi of Berry Town was formally welcomed to the Vermont House on April 9, 2026 after the clerk read Governor Philip B. Scott's letter of appointment. "I have the honor to inform you that I have appointed David Susi of Berry Town, Vermont to serve in the General Assembly representing House District Washington-Orange," the governor wrote, according to the clerk's reading.

The House reported that Susi took the oath of office earlier that morning and was escorted to seat number five by the sergeant-at-arms. The Speaker announced that the new member has been appointed to the House committee on health care.

The appointment fills a vacancy in representation for the Washington-Orange district; the Governor's letter and the Speaker's announcement establish Susi's authority to begin serving on committee work and participating in House business immediately. No additional debate or objection was recorded on the floor regarding the seating or committee assignment.

The House proceeded with its agenda after the swearing-in and seating, moving to the consent calendar and other ceremonial business.
