Saline County officials who won election this past November were officially sworn into office Monday morning. A group of family, friends, and colleagues gathered as 28th Judicial District Chief Judge Jared Johnson had each individually raise their right hand and take the oath of office.

Those taking office for the first time include:

• Salina County Commission District 2 – Annie Grevas
• Saline County Attorney – John Reynolds
• Saline County Treasurer – Anthony “Tony” Newell
• Saline County Register of Deeds – Michelle Newell

Those who won reelection and were sworn back into office include:

• Saline County Commission District 3 – Rodger Sparks
• Saline County Sheriff – Roger Soldan
• Saline County Clerk Jamie Doss

Each vowed to “solemnly swear or affirm that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Kansas, and faithfully discharge the duties” of their particular office “so help me God”.

Most have already started their jobs. Treasurer-Elect Newell has not, though. Although County Treasurers are elected in November, their official start date differs from other offices. He will not assume the office of Treasurer until the second Tuesday in October.

Grevas’s first formal commission meeting will be Tuesday morning.
