SPOTTED: Among the dignitaries at @wutrain’s signing in, @SecretaryOfMass Bill Galvin (with a vote mask) #mapoli

*swearing in — they’re in line to be checked in

My SPOTTED abilities are going to be limited — most press aren’t allowed in the council chamber for Wu’s swearing-in ceremony because of fire codes.

SPOTTED: @MassGovernor @ewarren @EdMarkey @AyannaPressley @Kim_Janey walking into the council chamber with @wutrain for her swearing-in ceremony #bospoli #mapoli

Watch @wutrain be sworn in as Boston’s first elected female mayor and first elected mayor of color (and first millennial mayor etc) live here boston.gov #bospoli

Here’s the view from the overflow seating for Wu’s swearing-in ceremony #bospoli

SPOTTED in the council chamber with Wu: @DARollins @stevenwtompkins @MattOMalley

Michelle Wu takes her oath of office (as seen from a livestream at City Hall because print press weren’t allowed in the council chamber).

@wutrain is now mayor of Boston #bospoli

“I learned the ropes of city government and politics on this floor, held the gavel on this floor, nursed babies on this floor, delivered paid parental leave on this floor,” newly minted Boston Mayor @wutrain says #bospoli

Boston Mayor @wutrain says she’s “earned the mandate” to call brutalist City Hall a “beautiful building.” Strong take from the new mayor #bospoli

SPOTTED in the background of Wu’s swearing-in (and on the elevator earlier) former rival @AnnissaForBos #bospoli
