So help me GOD Congratulations, commissioner. I. Good morning and thanks to each and every one of you for being here with us today to celebrate this occasion. Thank you, Judge Levin, for administering the oath of office. I ve thought a lot about the oath and what it means to me personally and what it means to our community and society. It is a great honor. To be elected by the people of your community. And then to raise your right hand and make some promises before them. The last four words speak to me the most. So help me GOD. Scripture tells us that all good gifts come down from GOD above, and that he enables us to accomplish great things for others. I thank GOD today for this moment, and I pray for wisdom in the days ahead. As I begin, I want to thank my predecessor, Commissioner Harold Jenkins for all that he has done for our county and more particularly for his and my hometown of Hobe Sound. I thank my dear wife. My best friend, soul mate and partner in all things. Thank you for stuffing thousands of letters. At our kitchen table and keeping the campaign books straight. When we sat out on the campaign, we didn t know that Robin would be having open heart surgery just 4 weeks before election night, but she handled it with calmness and grace just like she handles all other challenges in life. Thanks to our 3 adult kids, Jonathan, Lauren, and Sarah. And our son-in-law Chris, who were all here today. All 4 of them live in our beloved town of Hope Sound and are gainfully employed in our community for which we are very, very grateful. As members of the next generation, they provide the inspiration for us to do crazy things like running for public office. If we can make good if we can make things good for them and for your kids. We will have done our job. I want to thank my mother Barbara MacIntosh. For being here today. And for being my most devoted And enthusiastic campaign volunteer. If you know her, you probably got. A call or a text from her urging you to vote for her son, even if you were one of my good friends. My mom brought my two younger brothers and me to Hope Sound. With no money. When I was 13 and in the 8th grade. In the summer of 1977. I have often said that her four greatest gifts to me are faith, hope, love. And I hope so. Thanks also to my stepfather Larry McIntosh, who cannot be with us here today. For taking good care of my mom. And for being such an encourager to me. Thanks to my brothers Dave and Mark and their families for being here today and for all of your encouragement to get me to this point. I want to thank the residents of Martin County for this awesome privilege and responsibility. I say all with great intention. Those of you who voted for me, those of you who did not and those of you who did not vote at all. Thanks to all my friends in the community. Both the ones I met on the campaign. Trail and the ones that I m uh met before the campaign, and those of you that I ve known over the years. You tend to just think of people in your daily path. But when you run for office, you take a full inventory of everyone you have ever known. And it was very humbling to see how many people we had come to know in our 47 year history in this community. I said during the campaign that my top priority was to preserve the Martin County difference. That makes our communities such a rare and special place to live, work, and play. We must preserve and protect our endangered wetlands and uplands. Our open spaces and our three great rivers for generations to come. We must also improve our neighborhoods and infrastructure. Focus on customer service and keep our taxes in line for our taxpayers realizing that we worked for them and that it is our job to spend their money wisely. We must remember the needs of the next generation. And all of our planning for the future of our county. Their needs for a good job and a place to live. For it is they who will be the next taxpayers who will sustain and preserve all that we have here in Martin County. I want you to know. That I desire to listen to you and to learn from you. To be open, accessible and available to you. Leadership is not just about crossing the finish line. It is about bringing others across the finish line. The best dreams, ideas, plans, and strategies will come from you. We will discover them together. And then work together to bring them to fruition. I close with a timeless truth. From the ancient prophet Micah, that sums up all to which we should devote ourselves. He hath showed thee, o man, what is good. And what doth the Lord require of thee. But to do justly and to love mercy. And to walk humbly with thy GOD. And also a great promise from the book of Joshua. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. For the Lord your GOD is with you wherever you go. Thank you. GOD bless each and every one of you and GOD bless our great community. Thank you. I want to invite Commissioner Campi and the Sarah and Liz Campi up here also. The names from the past now. These are some familiar names this family I ve known. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Ok. Uh, commissioner. That to me. I, Edward v. Camy, I, Edward v. Camy. You solemnly swear, do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend, and I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States Constitution of the United States and the state of Florida and the state of Florida that I am duly qualified to hold office that I am duly qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the state under the Constitution of the state, and I will faithfully and well, I m sorry, that will, well, I have.
