Rep. Delgado Statement on Inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris

Statement

Today, U.S. Representative Antonio Delgado (NY-19) released the following statement congratulating President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on their inauguration.

"With all the pain, suffering, and loss we find ourselves in the midst of as a nation, I pray we can also find hope and inspiration in the new day brought forth with the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris," said Rep. Antonio Delgado. "Today, little girls and children of color in America watched an Inauguration Ceremony and saw themselves being sworn in to lead our great nation into the future. Vice President Harris' swearing-in is a testament to the promise of our nation and the ongoing perfection of our union."

"I congratulate President Biden and Vice President Harris on their historic swearing-in and look forward to working with their administration to end the coronavirus pandemic and build America back better. Residents of New York's 19th district are counting on the Biden Administration to deliver federal COVID-19 relief to local governments, create good-paying jobs, provide affordable health care, rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, and protect our planet. As I continue to fight for upstate families, farmers, and small businesses all across NY-19, I'm eager to work with the White House to meet the challenges ahead, and in doing so, build a better future for all."
