Kayla Santosuosso sworn in as District 47’s first female council member

Newly elected Council Member Kayla Santosuosso was sworn in as District 47’s first female council member during an inauguration ceremony Jan. 18 at the High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology, where family, friends, lawmakers — including her City Council colleagues — and community members packed the auditorium.

With her husband, Christopher Ghiorizi, by her side, Santosuosso took the oath of office administered by Kings County Criminal Court Judge Hemalee J. Patel. The ceremony followed her formal swearing-in at City Hall last month.
