Today is the day! At around 2PM I will be officially sworn in as the Senator from the First Senate District. I’m excited!
I’ll take my oath today on my childhood bible, given to me when I was 8 at Westminster Presbyterian Church, where I still attend today.

You get to pick whatever you’d like to swear in on and this is what I’ve chosen!
I have had my outfit laid out for a few days. These are the moments you plan for!
Like every day, I’m wearing my wedding ring. When I swear in with my left hand on the bible, it will be like Andy is right there with me. I know he is proud of me.
When I swear in, I’ll be reciting Delaware’s oath of office.
The Delaware oath focuses on power from the people and public interest… naturally, I, a statriot, think it is perfect.
Getting ready to go!
Rebekah and Trinity, two young trans advocates, are with me today. I asked them to hold the Bible while I take the oath. They inspire me every day.
I’m at the Claymont Community Center, which was once the Claymont High School. It was the first high school in a segregated state to be legally integrated.

The story of this building represents two enduring truths: that we can change and that we share a neighborly duty to care.

That change only occurred because Delawareans like the Claymont 12 and other young people dared to challenge the injustice of the status quo and to dream of a different world.
Some friends and family were able to join. Of course my mom, Sal, is here.
And here is my speech. Each legislator got three minutes, so I wanted to make it count.
Thanks for coming along with me today!
There is so much work to do, and I want you to join me on this journey. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/join-sarah-now?source=TW_org_swearingin_TW1-20210112_AQ
Sarah was just sworn in - will you join her?

Sarah's already hitting the ground running on the issues that matter most - like paid family leave. She needs our support at every step of the way.
