Graham celebrating swearing in at City Hall

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum will host a swearing in ceremony for Congresswoman Gwen Graham at City Hall Saturday afternoon.

Graham, who was officially sworn in earlier this month, is the first woman and the first Tallahasseean in modern history to be elected to represent District 2 and has already made waves in Congress.

She backed a campaign promise and was one of four Democrats not to vote for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House and has taken aim at wasteful government spending, introducing tweaks to the Affordable Care Act and was named to serve on the House Armed Services Committee.

She has also drawn criticism for recent votes in favor of the Keystone XXL pipeline and against Wall Street reforms.

The ceremony will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. at City Hall in Tallahassee.
