In a joint swearing-in ceremony, Delegates Steve Westfall, R-Jackson, and Martin Atkinson, R-Roane, took their oaths of office.
Westfall said he is eager to get back on the education committee to pass some bills that were introduced last year, hoping to have more luck this time around.
“I’m very proud to be re-elected, and am hoping to be back on education and back on finance. It’s going to be a tough year,” he said.
Atkinson, winning his first election since being appointed to former Delegate Bob Ashley’s seat, said he’s anxious to get started.
“I’m excited to be here, excited to get to work,” he said.
