Hall County’s new County Commission Chairman and three other incoming officials were sworn-in Friday afternoon in a ceremony at Roosevelt Square.
David Gibbs (pictured) replaces Richard Higgins who he defeated in the Republican Primary in May.
Also sworn in was Mark Pettitt, who succeeds the retiring Charles Baker as Clerk of Courts; John Breakfield, who assumes the Superior Court judgeship being vacated by Kathlene Gosselin, who is retiring at the end of the year; and Tripp Wingate, who takes Judge Breakfield’s place as a judge of the State Court of Hall County.
