I also wear the hat of the DNC’s Youth Council Co-Chair —we have several official meetings and some fun events as well that we are hosting for delegates under the age of 36.

I hope you enjoy the coverage and if there is something you want me to focus on or get the scoop on, please send a note to me or leave a comment on the blog.
