Stafford, VA – At an investiture ceremony held last night in the Board Chambers at the Stafford County Administration Center, newly-elected and reelected supervisors, constitutional officers and School Board members were installed in their offices.

Judge Charles S. Sharp of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit presided at the ceremony and administered the oaths of office. Taking the oath as newly-elected members of the Board of Supervisors were Jack R. Cavalier of the Griffis-Widewater District and Robert M. Thomas, Jr., of the George Washington District. Cavalier, who represented the district from 2000 to 2007, succeeds Bob Woodson, who did not seek reelection. Thomas succeeds Harry Crisp, who also declined to run for reelection. Supervisor Cord A. Sterling – who was reelected to the Rock Hill District seat he has held since 2008 – was also sworn in. Three of the four constitutional officers who took their oaths last night were reelected: Sheriff Charles E. Jett, Commissioner of the Revenue Scott Mayausky and Treasurer Laura M. Rudy.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Eric L. Olsen was newly elected to his post in November and succeeds

Daniel M. Chichester, who is retiring after holding the office for 40 years.

Also taking their oaths of office were Stafford County School Board members Patricia A. Healy of the Rock Hill District and Dana H. Reinboldt of the Griffis-Widewater District, who were reelected, and Dewayne McOsker, Jr., who was newly elected in November to represent the George Washington District. McOsker succeeds Patricia Mancini, who did not seek reelection.
