LIVE VIDEO: Pop-Up Swearing-In Ceremony for IID Directors JB Hamby - IID Director Division 2 and Javier Gonzalez IID Director Division 4 at the Imperial County Courthouse.

Join us at 12 noon today for the pop-up IID Directors swearing in ceremony at the Imperial County Courthouse steps in El Centro! Winning an election is never about one person. It takes a whole team to run a campaign friends, family, and the countless people we met along the way that made our vision a reality. In the event we were successful in this campaign, we never imagined that those who made this success possible would be excluded from attending the ceremony where we... pledged our commitment to the voters that elected us. Unfortunately, we were informed by IID that guests, constituents, family, friends, community even my own mom would be excluded from sharing in this moment. So we decided to host our own pop-up ceremony instead in accordance with the California Water Code to allow full, safe, and inclusive public participation. The public is invited to attend this outdoor swearing-in at the Imperial County Courthouse steps in El Centro at 12 noon on Friday while wearing masks and observing social distancing. There will be various speakers and the Honorable Christopher J. Plourd will be administering the oaths of office. Looking forward to seeing you at 12!
