Fitzgerald Statement on 59th Presidential Inauguration

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) made the following statement regarding the inauguration of Joseph R. Biden Jr. to become the 46th President of the United States:

“Today, in the nation’s capital, we will witness one of the hallmarks of our republic – the peaceful transition of power. The freedoms we are promised, however, cannot be taken for granted. Every elected official has a duty to uphold the Constitution above all else.

“President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris will swear an oath today, as Congress has done, to ensure the liberties enshrined in the Constitution remain a solemn promise for all Americans. I look forward to working with my new colleagues and this administration on behalf of the people of Wisconsin’s Fifth Congressional District in the 117th Congress.”
