~ In a historic moment for the city of St. Louis, Mayor Cara Spencer was officially sworn into office today in a ceremony held at City Hall. Surrounded by her family, friends, elected officials from across the state, and excited residents, Mayor Spencer took her oath of office in the rotunda.
In her inaugural address, Mayor Spencer emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration in moving the city forward. She also outlined four priority areas for her administration: openness and accountability, city service delivery, public safety, and growing an inclusive economy.
"I ran for Mayor because I know that when we work together, we work best," Mayor Spencer stated. "The people of this city are generous and hardworking, resilient and humble. We're also as tough as the carbon steel of the arch. With the determination and grit this city was built upon, we can and will do better."

The official swearing-in ceremony was conducted by Missouri Supreme Court Judge Robin Ransom for Mayor Spencer and Judge Michael Stelzer for Comptroller Donna Baringer. The event also featured performances by The Kasimu Trio, bagpipe performer Piper Laurie Hartung, soloist Myles Johnathan Lacy, The Hibernian Color Guard, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, Barry T. Cervantes, Detective John W. Leggette, Reverend Albert Manson Jr., and Reverend John Watson Jr.
