Bridge was appointed to the position in June by Gov. Kevin Stitt to fill the vacancy created earlier this year by the resignation of former District Judge Traci Soderstrom. Bridge was an attorney with the law firm of Lenora, Upton and Bridge for 17 years. Among those attending the swearing in Tuesday were her husband, Douglas, and three children. Photo/Brian Blansett.
