UPDATE:
A great experience, watching live the swearing-in of the new senators at 10:29 local time.
Personally, at times it was a matter of accelerating heartbeat followed by goose-pimples, a sense of gratitude and admiration for what Laura and her supporters have achieved by conviction and hard work.
Laura Ebke, initially seated next to her husband, was sitting in the front bench, in a beautiful blue-and-black dress. Later the family members repaired to the sides of the unicameral hall, when a long series of votings was about to commence.
In the most civil manner, Senator Kintner raised the issue of secret voting.
In the meantime, Senator Laura Ebke reports live on her facebook page:
So far, we've voted in 4 contested elections for leadership, using a secret ballot. My votes were for Sen. Coash for Speaker, Sen. Bloomfield for Exec. Chair, Sen. Watermeier for Exec. Vice Chair, and Sen. Brasch for Ag Committee Chair. Only Sen. Watermeier's candidacy was successful.
I would note, that these votes were all difficult, as all those running are fine people.
END of UPDATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A proud and happy moment for all of us supporters of Laura Ebke.
Watch the swearing-in of Senator Laura Ebke at 10 a.m. (Central Time) on Wednesday, January 7. It’s live-streamed here. Watch a little longer, and you’ll see what opening day looks like.
