"I am so honored," the bishop-elect said in a video address after her election. "Your trust and support mean everything to me and I am so excited to be there."

“I can’t wait to serve together.”

Meaux was selected from a slate of four nominees. The other nominees were Rev. Jimmy Abbott, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Galveston, Texas; Rev. Bradley Pace, rector of St. John's, Lafayette, Indiana; and Rev. Molly Payne-Hardin, rector of Trinity Church, Watertown, New York.
