Commissioner Troy, Judge Wright sworn-in

Lake County Commissioner Daniel P. Troy and 11th District Court of Appeals Judge Thomas Wright were sworn-in Thursday in Painesville.

The ceremony took place inside the County Administration Building in the city’s downtown.

Troy, a Willowick Democrat, defeated Wickliffe Republican Bob Murphy in November.

Meanwhile, Wright, a Trumbull County Democrat, defeated Lake County Common Pleas Court Judge Eugene Lucci, a Concord Township Republican.

Troy begins his fourth four-year term, while Wright begins his first six-year term. He replaced former Judge Colleen O’Toole, a Concord Township Republican, who lost a May primary to Lucci.
