The Inauguration of Senator Anna M. Kaplan

Please join New York State Senator Anna Kaplan and special guests for Senator Kaplan's 2021 Inauguration Event!

Unfortunately, the pandemic prevents us from having an in-person celebration this year, but thanks to the talented staff of the New York State Senate, you can join Senator Kaplan virtually in the historic Senate Chamber as she is joined by special guests, and as she takes the oath of office to officially become New York State Senator from District 7 for a second term.

The event will stream live here on this page (nysenate.gov/kaplaninauguration) starting at 7pm on January 5, 2021.
