A replacement for resigning Alabama Secretary of State Beth Chapman is expected to take the oath of office on Wednesday. The Associated Press reports Former Secretary of State Jim Bennett will take the oath of office on Wednesday to replace Beth Chapman.
Chapman’s resignation was announced earlier this month and Gov. Robert Bentley appointed Bennett about a week later.
Bentley will reportedly administer the oath of office to Bennett at 5:01 p.m. Wednesday in the Old House Chamber of the Alabama State Capitol in downtown Montgomery.
Bennett is a former state legislator and served as Secretary of State from 1993 until 2003.
