CROWN POINT â Lake County Circuit Court Judge Marissa McDermott has announced her intention to seek re-election next year.
"FIVE YEARS AGO, today, I woke up as the first woman to ever win an election for Lake Circuit Judge," McDermott wrote in a social media post Tuesday.
"That success was due to wonderful supporters and a lot of work," she said. "It's hard to believe how fast the time flew, but today, I am proud to announce that I will be running for re-election."
McDermott, who is married to Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr., said she plans to spend the coming months sharing what she and her circuit court team have accomplished.
