Megan Cook will be sworn in tonight as the president of the Easton town council.

Cook defeated fellow Councilman Ron Engle in the July 9 special election to serve out the remainder of the term of John Ford, who died Feb. 4.

Cook has represented the town’s 4th Ward for more than a decade.

Engle, the town’s Ward 3 councilman, has served as interim council president since mid-November.
