Senator DeSaulnier sworn in

In a moment steeped in local history at the Concord City Hall Mark DeSaulnier was sworn in as State Senator for the 7th Senatorial District in California. DeSaulnier a former Mayor of Concord, Contra Costa County Supervisor and State Assemblyman was sworn in by former State Senator for the 7th Senatorial District Daniel Boatwright. Contra Costa County Clerk Steve Weir was the master of cermonies and Supervisor Susan Bonilla was there to give a proclamation from the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors. All in all there were four former mayors of Concord in attendance. DeSaulnier and Boatwright are the only two former Mayors of Concord to serve as Senator for this district. I have been to a few swearing in ceremonies in the years I have been following politics, but this we the most fun swearing I have ever seen.
