Like mother, like daughter: Virginia Maloney celebrates inauguration to same City Council seat her mom Carolyn Maloney once held

Virginia Maloney has been on the job for the City Council’s 4th District in Manhattan for weeks now, but she celebrated her inauguration in her community with a swearing-in ceremony on Saturday afternoon. 

During the Jan. 31 event at the Hunter College Assembly Hall, Maloney placed her right hand on the family Bible as Attorney General Letitia James administered the oath, and members of the audience, including an illustrious roster of Democratic politicians, cheered.
