Newly elected officials across the State are ready to start their terms in office after swearing-in ceremonies in Harrisburg.
State Rep. Mike Schlossberg (D-Lehigh) and State Senator Mario Scavello (R-40) were among officials sworn into office Tuesday.
Schlossberg took the oath of office for a second term representing the 132nd Legislative District.
He said he is focusing on constituent service and a fresh start for Pennsylvania schools and families.
"There is a lot to be done to put Pennsylvania on a more productive path, but I am ready to get to work," said Schlossberg.
He pledged to work with the incoming governor and his colleagues across the aisle to ensure that the state is honoring its commitment to community schools, fostering a strong economy and creating opportunities for all Pennsylvania families.
He also said he intends to continue fighting for women's health and equality for all Pennsylvanians and he is committed to improving Pennsylvania's economy by voting to support investments in roads and bridges while continuing to bolster the health care and manufacturing industries.
Schlossberg will represent the newly configured 132nd District, which now includes parts of South Whitehall and Allentown's East Side.
Meanwhile State Senator Mario Scavello (R-40) was also sworn into office to represent the new 40th Senatorial District covering parts of Monroe and Northampton counties.
Scavello said "I am honored and humbled to join the Senate today. I'm hopeful for what the future holds, but fully aware of the work to be done.
Prior to his election to the Senate, Senator Scavello served more than a decade in the House of Representatives, representing Monroe County's 176th Legislative District.
Senator Scavello has also been a small business owner, mayor of Mount Pocono and chairman of the Monroe County Board of Commissioners.
Voters elected both men to their respective posts in the November 2014 election.
