On Tuesday, January 9, 2008, the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly members were sworn into office during the Organization of the 213th Session of the Legislature. During these ceremonies, Sean T. Kean of Wall, who previously served five years in the Assembly, was sworn into office as Senator for the 11th Legislative District. David Rible, of Wall, and Mary Pat Angelini of Ocean also took the oath of office and will represent the 11th District in the General Assembly.

"It has been my honor and privilege to represent the people of the 11th Legislative District in the General Assembly and I am thrilled at the opportunity to continue representing Monmouth County in the Senate," remarked Senator Sean T. Kean.

Senator Kean was elected to fill the seat of former Senator Joseph Palaia who retired after serving in the Legislature since 1981.

Assemblyman David Rible and Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini who will be serving their first terms as legislators also expressed their enthusiasm to work in the Legislature.

"I am looking forward to representing the constituents of District 11 and advocating on their behalf," said Assemblyman David Rible. "After speaking to people on the campaign trail, I know that lowering property taxes and making New Jersey an affordable place to live and do business are the most important issues right now."

Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini also asserted her commitment to the reforms that she and her running mates pledged to uphold throughout their campaign.

"I am eager to begin working to make New Jersey more affordable, bring about ethics reform and restore fiscal accountability to the state," said Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini.

Senator Kean, Assemblyman Rible and Assemblywoman Angelini plan to have a joint legislative office located in Wall Township.
