It was a bipartisan event at Fishers City Hall Monday evening as Dr. Crystal Neumann was sworn into office by City Judge Dan Henke.  Ms. Hermann had friends, family and other council members on hand for the ceremony.

“This is not your seat on the Fishers City Council,” Judge Henke told those assembled for the event.  “The seat belongs to the citizens of Fishers and entrusted into you.”

Fellow Democrat, Councilwoman Jocelyn Vare, was there, as were Republican
Council Members Cecilia Coble, David George, John Weingardt and Brad DeReamer.

Crystal Neumann will represent the North Central Council District.  She is filling the seat left vacant by Samantha DeLong, who resigned her council seat because her family is moving to Nevada.   Ms. Delong was also on hand for the swearing-in ceremony.

Ms. Neumann was selected to fill the opening by a group of Democratic precinct officials in a caucus held Sunday afternoon.
