RALEIGH, Miss. (WDAM) - Several gathered at the courthouse in Raleigh Friday for the swearing-in of Matt Sullivan as circuit court judge for the 13th District.
This ceremony comes after the passing of former Circuit Court Judge Eddie Bowen, who died from COVID-19 complications in February.
Gov. Tate Reeves announced Thursday that he had appointed Sullivan to the court, which covers Covington, Jasper, Simpson and Smith counties. Sullivan had been serving as district attorney for the 13th district.
