State Rep. Alicia St. Germaine last Wednesday took the ceremonial oath of office as a state representative in the Michigan House. Clerk Gary Randall administered the oath in the state Capitol in Lansing on the House’s first day of session. Pictured here at an earlier date are Rep. St. Germaine with her husband, Jeff; son, Jager; daughter, Sumer; and family friend, Makayla Monday.

St. Germaine said it is tremendous honor to represent local residents at the state Capitol, and she will be a fierce advocate on their behalf.

The first-term legislator represents the new 62^nd House District, which consists of the cities of Fraser and St. Clair Shores, portions of Chesterfield and Clinton townships, a portion of the City of Roseville, and all of Harrison Township.
