Mayor Muriel Bowser was sworn in for her second term as D.C. mayor on Wednesday, the first mayor to take the oath of office for a second time since 2002. She is also the first woman mayor to be reelected in the city’s history.

Bowser won reelection after a breezy campaign in which she faced no serious challengers, despite several prominent scandals. She coasted to victory with about 76 percent of the vote on election night.

Her speech on Wednesday touted her successes, including fulfilling her campaign promise to close D.C. General, the city’s large, dilapidated hospital-turned-family homeless shelter, and opening new apartment-style shelters in its place.

The mayor also acknowledged some setbacks from the last year, including significant spikes in the city’s homicide rate and traffic fatalities. She promised to address both problems, and said that going into her next term, she has the city’s income inequality and educational achievement gap top of mind. “We are only as strong as the ward that struggles the most,” she said in her speech at the Convention Center. “We can’t take a victory lap as a whole if African Americans in our city continue to see lagging wages and huge income disparity with their white neighbors.”

Bowser has presided over the city during a time of huge economic and population growth. The start of this demographic change preceded her, but new neighborhoods from H Street Northeast to U Street Northwest are gentrifying further each year. Bowser said that when she was first considering running for mayor, a  friend told her she would likely be blamed for all the changes and how they were affecting residents.

“She said to me, ‘I’m worried that people will blame you for how fast the city is changing, and their place in it. You know that right?'” she said. 

On a lighter note, Bowser jokingly referenced of the brouhaha that ensued when she criticized mumbo sauce online in November.

“Is anyone else annoyed by mumbo sauce? I wish people would stop suggesting that it is quintessential D.C.,” she posted on Facebook just before Thanksgiving. A deluge of residents commented on the post accusing the mayor of being out of touch with the city.

“You probably understand why I will never utter the words mumbo sauce, except in total praise, ever again,” she said today.

Like several other public officials who were sworn in on Wednesday, Bowser alluded to President Donald Trump, the current federal shutdown, and liberal D.C.’s widespread disapproval of the administration. After his election, Bowser received some flak for meeting with Trump in New York ahead of his inauguration. “I am your mayor, and I must do some things for you so that you don’t have to,” she said Wednesday. “I carried your message [to Trump] very clearly. D.C. demands statehood now.”

D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine was also sworn in on Wednesday. Though he had considered entering the mayoral race, Racine instead opted to run for reelection, which he won handily. He’s raised his profile in a series of of high-profile lawsuits opposing Trump’s policies, including an emoluments lawsuit alleging the president is illegally profiting from his office.

Incumbents Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne Nadeau, Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh, Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, At-large councilmembers Elissa Silverman and Anita Bonds, and Chairman Phil Mendelson all took the oath of office Wednesday as well.
