Democratic Convention Fires Up Local Delegates
A local delegate has an enthusiastic review of the Democratic National Convention from the party meetings to the televised speeches. Hillary Blackerby is attending the event in person, representing the local area.”Really every minute of it was fantastic. We were really motivated by all the speeches,” said Blakerby. She called the speech by First Lady Michelle Obama, “extremely moving.”Blackerby says many of the delegates are young and energetic. “Our delegation in California is 608 delegates and 98 of them are under 35. We are a diverse party and we make sure our delegation reflects that.”KEY News Senior Reporter John Palminteri has our story.
