Yesterday morning, December 26 at 10 a.m., the newly-elected officials of Washington County were sworn-in. Friends, family and community members alike packed Judge Larry Medlock’s courtroom at the Circuit Court to congratulate the new additions to our governmental body.
A total of 14 electees raised their right hands yesterday and swore an oath of office to uphold the duties and responsibilities of the positions in which they have been elected for the betterment of Washington County. Judge Medlock and Judge Dustin Houchin worked in tandem to swear-in the new officials, and Stephanie Rockey, who also was sworn-in for her second term as the Clerk of Courts, organized the ceremony.
