U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz are now certified as democratic nominees, overseen by Moore.
The last time that Chicago was host to the Democratic National Convention, I was actually hosting a monthly business workshop on the Westside of Chicago, in conjunction with my being Specification Engineer for the City of Chicago Department of Aviation at O'Hare International Airport, assisting women and other minorities in getting certified as MBE/WBE participants on City of Chicago and other governmental contracts. The mayor of Chicago at the time, Richard Daley, had his surrogates attend my standing room only workshop in hopes of benefiting from the contracts generated through the Democratic National Convention, which will hold true for 2024. This is an exciting time for the City of Chicago, and all of America, as they have the opportunity to elect the first woman as President of the United States.As co-author of subject book, Minyon Moore, should be doubly proud of her achievement as Chairperson of the Democratic National Convention, as well as actually being from Chicago.
