Inauguration of Lakewood's new Mayor and Councilmembers

A great day for Lakewood. The Lakewood High School Choir, lead by Dr. Lisa Hansen did a wonderful rendition of "America the Beautiful" to kick off the inauguration. Senator Sherrod Brown did the honors of Swearing in the Mayor and Council Members.

Congratulations to Tom Bullock, Kevin Butler, and Mary Louise Madigan on winning a seat in your wards. Also, congratulations to Lakewood's newest Mayor, Ed FitzGerald, on being elected Mayor of this fine city!

  • Master of Ceremonies, Joe Gibbons
  • The FitzGerald Family is presented with a flag that was flown over the US Capitol
  • Certainly an emotional day for Mayor FitzGerald, who took a moment to collect himself after telling the story of his mother and his childhood.
