New Nevada County Supervisor Ed Scofield is sworn in Monday by Superior Court Judge Thomas Anderson in the board chambers at the Rood Center.
A large crowd of smiling friends and relatives filled the Nevada County Board of Supervisors chambers Tuesday morning as former county fair manager Ed Scofield was sworn in as supervisor of District 2.
A county native, Scofield will replace Sue Horne, who represented the southern district for eight years. The county’s governing panel will now consist entirely of men.
Also sworn in were incumbents Nate Beason of District 1 and Ted Owens of District 5. Both ran unopposed.
“I’m looking forward to Ed Scofield participating because I think he’s going to fit right in,” Beason said.
Scofield won the election against businessman and fellow Republican Alan Kilborn in November.
During his campaign, Scofield listed the economy and growth as the top two issues facing the county. He served as the fair manager for 25 years, a title he handed over to deputy Fair Manager Sandy Woods two days ago.
District 3 Supervisor John Spencer and District 4 Supervisor Hank Weston also sit on the board. Last fall, treasurer and county Tax Collector Christine Dabis announced she would retire from her long-held post to run against Spencer for supervisor in 2010.
Wearing a dark suit and red tie, Scofield raised his right hand and swore to defend the U.S. and state constitutions as well as the county he serves.
After taking his oath, Scofield appeared relaxed.
“I woke up this morning with a big knot in my stomach,” he reflected. “This is the real thing.”
