Greetings from Charlotte: delegation arrives in Charlotte
Monday, September 3, 2012
Chris Roberts is a member of the 32nd Dems delegation to the Democratic National Convention and is reporting on his experiences.
Greetings from Charlotte.
Mario Brown, Carin Chase, Winona Hauge, Representative Cindy Ryu and I have all made it safely to the Democratic National Convention. We are all excited to represent the 32nd Legislative District.
Our days begin with a 7:00 am delegation breakfast with the rest of the delegation from Washington, including former Speaker Tom Foley. The rest of today is full of constituency and faith-based caucus meetings, and Carin is volunteering at the Home Building Service Project.
Last night we attended a welcome reception with the delegations from Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon. Mario was the hit of the evening, singing Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" in front of the delegations.
On Thursday, President Obama will accept the Presidential nomination. We encourage you to watch his speech at the Shoreline Campaign Office in the North City neighborhood in Shoreline (1622 179th St NE Shoreline). Sign up to watch the event here.
Happy Labor Day,
Chris
