Under a month to go...
We are under one month until the start of the 2008 Democratic National Convention. And I can tell you, this month is going to fly by. Before I head out to Denver, I thought it might be nice to give a little background on myself and my experiences.
I'm a student at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For those of you who have never been to campus, you definitely should come for a visit. Milwaukee is a great city, especially in the summer.
In addition to being a fulltime student, I'm also one of Wisconsin's members to the Democratic National Committee. I was first elected back in 2004 at the age of 17 and was just re-elected to another four year term in June. I ran because I wanted to make sure that young people had a voice in the party.
I've also been involved with a variety of different things on campus, mainly focusing in student government. I've served as a Senator, Parliamentarian, and Legislative Vice President. It's through those experiences with my advisor in student government that I came to learn about NACA and the great work you do to help promote student activism. I'm excited to keep you posted on what develops at the convention next month. Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer!
