 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A former lawmaker was sworn in Wednesday as California secretary of state, and quickly promised to restore public confidence in the beleaguered office.
Former state Sen. Bruce McPherson, 61, a Republican nominated by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace former Secretary of State Kevin Shelley, vowed not to let down the state or the office's staff.
"Now our work begins," McPherson said. "This office is going to lead the nation again in innovation, creativity and impartial elections administration."
