Newly elected member of Congress Donna Shalala hosted her Florida swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 13 at the University of Miami, during which she thanked the thousands of voters in Florida’s 27th District who cast ballots for her in Novemberl.
The historic event was broadcast live via CNews Facebook (https://goo.gl/CHjB7r) from the Newman Alumni Center at the University of Miami.
U.S. Rep. Shalala’s campaign was mobilized by donors, activists, and voters alike who supported her platform of common-sense gun reform, support for higher education, environmental protection, and affordable healthcare.
“To everyone who put their faith in me, I won’t let you down. Miami is my home — it is the reason why we fought so hard during every day of my campaign, and why we are taking that resolve to Washington,” she said on her website.
“Until every child has a fair shot at a higher education, we’re not done. Until Medicare and Social Security are secure for every senior, we will not rest. Until this heartless administration is held accountable for their numerous injustices, we will not stop.”
