    Dawn Pettengill signs her oath of office after being sworn in to the Iowa Legislature.

 

     Rep. Dawn Pettengill signed her oath of office in the Iowa House chamber as the 84th General Assembly kicked off Monday at the Capitol.  Pettengill was re-elected on November 2.

 

     During the session, Rep. Pettengill can be reached at dawn.pettengill@legis.state.ia.us or through the House switchboard at (515) 281-3221.

 

     The swearing in ceremony of all 100 state representatives begins a week full of ceremonies, including the condition of the state address by the governor, and the condition of the judiciary address by the Iowa Supreme Court chief justice.  A full slate of committee work begins as well, as bills begin the process it takes to get them to the House floor for full debate.

 

     The legislative session is slated to last 110 days, ending April 29.
