Elmore County marked a change in leadership as it welcomed two new commissioners during a swearing-in ceremony Monday morning.

Held at the county courthouse before family, friends and local representatives, the event officially added Wesley Wootan and Albert Hofer to the three-person board of county commissioners.

In addition, Barbara Steele was sworn in as the new clerk of the county's district court and Ron Fisher took his oath as the county's newest assessor, replacing retiring assessor Jo Gridley.

Rose Plympton renewed her oath to retain her position as county treasurer and Jerry Rost reaffirmed vows as county coroner.
