Victoria Spartz took her oath of office on Tuesday, becoming the U.S. Representative for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District.

“Today is a beginning,” Spartz said. “Serving the people of our 5th District is a privilege and responsibility. I’ll work tirelessly on their behalf to bring results and representation worthy of the trust they’ve given me. We must defend our American creed of ‘freedom for all’ – not socialism, not big government, not centralized power. The principle that life and liberty belong to our people and that I represent the people not the government will shape every decision I make here in Washington.”
