State Representative-Elect Collene Lamonte was sworn into office at Muskegon High School last Monday by Muskegon County Circuit Court Judge., the Hon. William C. Marietti. She will take office on Jan. 1, 2013.

“It is an honor and great responsibility to be chosen as the voice for the people of the 91st district,” Lamonte said. “I know our middle-class families are struggling and that they want an ally in the Legislature. I pledge to work hard on their behalf by working to strengthen our public education system, restore fairness to our tax code and create an environment where small businesses can thrive.”

Muskegon Circuit Court Judge, the Hon. William C. Marietti, administered the oath of office to Lamonte at a ceremony held at the Muskegon High School auditorium. Lamonte was joined at the swearing in by family and friends.
