Oath of Office
The bible used today to swear in the Members of the Wisconsin State Assembly is being accompanied by Dr. Ellsworth Brown of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
This bible was used to swear in the very first Governor of Wisconsin, Henry Dodge. Congress organized the Territory of Wisconsin on July 3, 1836, when Michigan became a state. The following day, John S. Horner, Secretary of the former Michigan Territory, was sworn in as Secretary of Wisconsin Territory, and on that same Independence Day, Horner used this bible to administer the oath of office to the newly appointed Governor of Wisconsin, Henry Dodge, at Mineral Point. In the same ceremony, Horner used this bible to swear in three of Wisconsin’s new Supreme Court judges, William C. Frasier, David Irvin and Charles Dunn (father-in-law of the first Governor of the State of Wisconsin, Nelson Dewey). This historic bible, published in 1829, marks the very beginning of Wisconsin’s government.
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 28 of the Wisconsin Constitution, the Honorable Chief Justice Patience D. Roggensack of the Wisconsin Supreme Court administered the oath of office to the members en masse.
The attendance roll was called by the clerk, and the members, as their names were called, came to the desk to sign the Oath of Office book.
The roll was taken.
The result follows:
Present – Representatives Allen, Anderson, August, Ballweg, Barca, Berceau, Bernier, Billings, Born, Bowen, Brandtjen, E. Brooks, R. Brooks, Brostoff, Considine, Crowley, Doyle, Duchow, Edming, Felzkowski, Fields, Gannon, Genrich, Goyke, Hebl, Hesselbein, Hintz, Horlacher, Hutton, Jacque, Jagler, Jarchow, Katsma, Kerkman, Kessler, Kitchens, Kleefisch, Knodl, Kolste, Kooyenga, Kremer, Krug, Kuglitsch, Kulp, Loudenbeck, Macco, Mason, Meyers, Milroy, Murphy, Mursau, Nerison, Neylon, Novak, Nygren, Ohnstad, Ott, Petersen, Petryk, Pope, Pronschinske, Quinn, Riemer, Ripp, Rodriguez, Rohrkaste, Sanfelippo, Sargent, Schraa, Shankland, Sinicki, Skowronski, Snyder, Spiros, Spreitzer, Stafsholt, Steffen, Steineke, Stuck, Subeck, Summerfield, Swearingen, Tauchen, C.

Remarks by the Speaker
“Good afternoon and welcome to the 103rd Wisconsin State Assembly.
Today is a special day for every single one of us, but it’s especially meaningful for the 11 people who are joining the 5,060 people who have served in the Assembly since Wisconsin statehood. These new members signed the official Assembly “Oath of Office” book for the first time today. We all have the honor of representing the state of Wisconsin.
100 years ago, as the new 3rd state capitol opened, representatives sat in these very seats to take on the great responsibilities that faced them at that time. They were no different than we are today. Over the course of the past 100 years, the people who sat in this chamber made things happen.
