Three of Rockdale's officials elected in November - Chief Superior Court Judge David Irwin, District Attorney Richard Read, and Post 2 Commissioner Doreen Williams - were sworn in Thursday night at the Rockdale County courthouse.

All three were elected to serve a four year term. 

Judge David Irwin, joined by his wife Lisa, was sworn in for his fifth term as Superior Court Judge of the Rockdale County circuit.

District Attorney Richard Read, joined by his wife Theresa, was also sworn in for his fifth term as Rockdale County's and the state's lead prosecutor in the circuit.

Doreen Williams, joined by her husband John, was sworn in for her first term as the Rockdale County Post 2 Commissioner. 

Irwin and Read faced no opposition; Williams defeated two-term incumbent JaNice Van Ness in the general election. 

Superior Court Judge Robert Mumford administered the oath of office to all three as they committed themselves to the responsibility of serving the public.
