Pontiac, Michigan – Oakland County’s top elected officials were sworn-in Thursday for the next four years in Oakland County Circuit Court by Chief Judge Shalina D. Kumar.

Incumbents County Executive Dave Coulter, Clerk/Register of Deeds Lisa Brown, Sheriff Michael Bouchard and Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash were each administered their oath of office during a brief ceremony. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the ceremony was closed to the public but recorded for later viewing.

Newly elected Prosecutor Karen McDonald was present for the swearing-in of her new colleagues, but a separate ceremony was held for her later Thursday.

Treasurer-elect Robert Wittenberg, who replaces Treasurer Andy Meisner, will take his oath of office in the summer when Meisner’s term expires.
