Adams County marked the commencement of new terms for seven elected officials and six judges in an Inauguration Ceremony on Tuesday, Jan. 10, at Riverdale Regional Park. Residents, employees, and family and friends filled the Waymire Dome to watch the proceedings.

We have grown to a county of over 520,000 residents and have been recognized as a majority-minority county after the last census cycle,” said Board of County Commissioners Chair Lynn Baca. “Today is also an historic and momentous occasion as we come together to recognize and support the individuals who have been elected to lead and serve our county. With the deepest gratitude, thank you to all of our elected officials for answering the call to public service, to be a collaborator, an ambassador, but most importantly, to do the work of this great county we call home.”
