Marc GravittNASHVILLE – Republican Marc Gravitt of East Ridge was officially sworn in today as the new state representative of House District 30.
East Ridge City Judge J. Cris Helton conducted the ceremony. Gravitt is an East Ridge city councilman.
The Hamilton County Commission earlier this month named Gravitt to take office earlier and fill the remaining time in former state Rep. Vince Dean’s term. Dean was elected Hamilton County Criminal Court Clerk last month and resigned his legislative seat when he assumed his new office.
Gravitt, who owns Gravitt Auctions and Appraisals, won his Aug. 7 GOP primary with no opposition and also faces no opponent in the November election for a full two-year term.
In a news release, Gravitt said he is thankful for the support shown to him and “truly grateful to both the voters and the Hamilton County Commission fo the faith they have placed in me.”
