This time tomorrow, I’ll be in Denver for the start of the Democratic National Convention or what the kids call “DenVen.” Then, it’s off to Minneapolis for the Republican National Convention (still searching for the cool kids name). My name is Elizabeth Ireland and I’m a freelance writer for KNSD.
A Convention first-timer, I’m traveling on behalf of Campaign.com, a non-partisan voter education website. Campaign.com provides information to voters on candidates at the local, state and federal levels. While the Presidential race is widely covered, the other 45, 000 elected positions, which directly impacts each and every voter’s life, are virtually left in a void. Campaign.com is a great source for unbiased information so voters can educate themselves on all levels of candidates and legislative issues.
I’m looking forward to everything except for the 6:30 a.m. flight. I can’t wait to compare and contrast attendees, speakers, vendors, celebs, schwag and all things National Conventions.
