“This delegate election showcased the best of our party, and we’re so inspired by all of the candidates who stepped up to run. I’m incredibly proud to work with these convention delegates as we build our party’s platform and nominate Joe Biden as the next President of the United States,” Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, Chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party said. “These leaders reflect the rich diversity of our state and party, and I know they’ll represent Louisiana well at this historic convention.”
