Ready to do their work for Maine

Maine Sen. Brad Farrin (above), Sen. Scott Cyrway (below) and Sen. Jeff Timberlake (bottom) take their seats at Swearing-In Day for the Maine State Senate Wednesday, Dec. 2, at the Augusta Civic Center. Now that that the 130th Maine Legislature has convened, committees will begin their legislative work in January. Swearing-In Day was held at the civic center to allow social distancing among legislators. Farrin represents Senate District 3, which includes most of Somerset County as well as the Kennebec County town of Rome. Cyrway was re-elected in November to represent Senate District 16 which consists of Albion, Benton, Clinton, Fairfield, Unity Township, Waterville, and Winslow. Timberlake was re-elected in November to represent Senate District 22, which includes Durham, Greene, Leeds, Lisbon, Litchfield, Sabattus, Turner, Wales and Wayne. Last month, he was elected by his fellow Republican senators to serve as the Republican leader in the Maine State Senate. (Submitted photo)
