Inauguration

The 58th Presidential Inauguration for the 45th United States President is scheduled for Friday, January 20, 2017 at the West Front Steps of the U.S. Capitol.

As the Representative for Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District, it is my privilege to assist with facilitating the opportunity to witness the 58th Presidential Inauguration. A limited number of tickets are allotted to each Congressional office for the inauguration ceremony. The deadline for submitting your request for inauguration tickets has pasted (Monday, December 5, 2016), all inauguration tickets have been allotted, and we are no longer accepting requests for inauguration tickets.

Tickets are not necessary to view the inauguration ceremony; the tickets simply allow access to specific sections of the Capitol Grounds closer to the U.S. Capitol West Front. There will be large sections of the National Mall that will be accessible to the general public, behind the ticketed area; typically jumbo viewing screens are set up throughout the National Mall. Please note that there are many inauguration events, both official and non-official.

This service is provided to the constituency of the 3rd Congressional District of Arizona. If you reside outside the 3rd Congressional District of Arizona, please CLICK HERE to identify and contact your congressional representative.

Any further questions can be directed to Cristina Villa at my Washington, D.C. office at AZ03Inauguration@mail.house.gov or 202-225-2435.
