by

The elected senator and now the owner senator, Rosamar Trujillo Plumey, was able to swear today as well as his colleagues, being able to deliver the only missing document to receive the official certification by the State Electoral Commission (EEC).

“I thank each of the citizens who gave me the vote of confidence to represent them as a district senator. Today I assure you that I will work tirelessly for each of you and to restore the trust of your legislators to our people in Puerto Rico, ”he said in written statements.

This morning, Trujillo Plumey was the only elected senator unable to complete the oath-taking process because the chartered public accountant was unable to submit a financial report to the State Electoral Commission to be finally certified.

Trujillo Plumey was sworn in in the Senate chamber, along with Legislative Secretary Manuel Torres. The new senator tried to place a photo of her deceased parents nearby: former Humacao mayor Rosamar Trujillo Plumey and Rosa Elena Plumey.
