This isn’t state Rep. Sam Park’s first time at the Democratic National Convention. Park was selected as one of the keynote speakers in 2020 and first attended as a candidate in 2016.

Now Park is in Chicago as one of thousands of delegates who are selecting the next presidential nominee for the Democratic party.

He says there has been a lot of hope and excitement in the air as delegates rally behind Kamala Harris and Tim Walz at the star-studded event.



Vice presidential hopeful Walz is scheduled to speak at the convention tonight, ahead of Harris on Thursday.
