Buchanon swears new judge-exec 29 years later

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – It’s a big night for the leaders of Warren County here in Downtown Bowling Green. 

Newly elected and re-elected Warren County officials gathered in the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center to take their oaths of office. 

Warren County’s long-standing judge-executive Michael Buchanon performed the swearing-in ceremony tonight after taking the oath, himself, for the last 29 years. 

“I believe that for Warren County and South Central Kentucky, the best years are ahead of us. And this new leadership is going to have more excitement, more energy,” said Buchanon.

Among the long list of inductees included Buchanon’s successor, Doug Gorman: the new county judge-executive.

“He’s done a fantastic job and is a great mentor,” Gorman said of Buchanon. “I’m just really excited about the opportunities that lay out there and the things that we’re going to do in the future.”
