The City of West Columbia City Council held a Special Council Meeting on Nov. 12 to administer the oath of office to the newly-elected Mayor Tem Miles.

“It has been an honor to serve as a council member for the last 6 years. I am beyond thrilled that the people of West Columbia have allowed me the opportunity to continue to serve in the role of Mayor,” Miles said.

“I look forward to serving all members of our community and keeping the positive momentum going for all parts of our city.”

State Sen. Nikki Setzler of West Columbia, who is also the city’s attorney, swore Miles in. Miles replaces departing Mayor Bobby Horton, who served 3 terms as West Columbia mayor before stepping down this year. Horton, who endorsed Miles, attended the swearing in.

Sen. Setzler also swore in District 2 Councilman Trevor Bedell; newly elected District 4 Councilman Joseph Dickey; re-elected District 6 Councilman Jimmy Brooks; and newly elected District 8 Councilman David Moye.

“I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve the fine residents and business owners of West Columbia. I wish our former mayor, Bobby Horton, the best of years to come in his retirement from city government,” said District 2’s Trevor Bedell.

Councilman Joseph Dickey said, “It is an honor and a privilege to be elected to serve the City of West Columbia by our District 4 community. This is our victory. As my term begins, I am excited about the opportunities for West Columbia and look forward to working with my fellow council members and our Mayor in leading West Columbia in a positive direction.”

“It is an honor to serve the citizens of West Columbia. I look forward to continuing the great work we are doing for another 4 years,” said Councilman Jimmy Brooks.

Councilman David Moye stated, “Residents in District 8 have a vision for the west side of the river. I am honored they chose me to help guide today’s vision into tomorrow’s reality.”
