DC Mayor Makes History! Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser was sworn in this week as the first African American woman to be elected to three, four-year terms as mayor of an American city. In her inauguration speech, Bowser said a third time and a third term is a special opportunity because there is a mandate from the people to be bold, to think big, to push the envelope, and above all else, to win for Washington, DC. In 2018 Bowser became the first woman ever re-elected as the Mayor of Washington, DC and the first mayor to earn a second term in 16 years.
