WASHINGTON — Muriel Bowser is set to begin her second term as D.C.’s mayor, with a swearing-in ceremony Wednesday morning at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
Attorney General Karl Racine, council chairman Phil Mendelson, and six other council members will also be sworn-in during Wednesday’s ceremony.
The event starts at 9:30 a.m.
Street closures and parking restrictions have been posted around the convention center from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the day of the event:
Road closures:
