In the new year, the 15-member Washington County Quorum Court is welcoming eight Republicans and seven Democrat justices of the peace. All seven of the Democrats are women, which means nine of the justices are women. The justices of the peace were sworn in Wednesday by Washington County Circuit Judge Joanna Taylor.
