City and County Elected Officials get sworn in January 2023 to begin their new terms

2023 Quorum Court Saline County – Saline County Quorum Court (Left to Right): Keith Keck (Dist 13), C.J. Engel (Dist 9), Clint Chism (Dist 11), J.R Walters (Dist 12), Josh Curtis (Dist 7), Barbara Howell (Dist 4), Jim Whitley (Dist 10), Ed Albares (District 8 ), Carlton Billingsley (Dist 3), Pat Bisbee (Dist 1) and Justin Rue (Dist 5).

At the very beginning of every year after an election, the newly elected and re-elected candidates are sworn into office. We’ve made a gallery of photos so you can recognize your elected officials.

In addition to Saline County officials take the oath of office, there were a few from the City of Alexander, City of Benton, and City of Haskell. Some elected officials were sworn in at another time, and some in their own City ceremonies.

The photos are in sections in the gallery below. We’ll add any other photos as they are available. See the list of all our Federal, State, County & City Elected Officials at this link: www.mysaline.com/elected-officials
