| Description | The Democratic National Committee's Executive Committee on Friday approved 25 delegates -- seven of whom are LGBT -- to the 2008 Denver Democratic Convention's standing committees on platform, rules and credentials, according to a DNC press release.
Alabama State Rep. Patricia Todd, Ingrid Duran of Virginia, AIDS Action official Diego Sanchez of Massachusetts and Gay Men's Health Crisis head Dr. Marjorie Hill will join the Platform Committee.
Clare Lucas of Washington, D.C., and Evan Low of California were appointed to the Rules Committee, and Vermont congressional chief of staff Bob Rogan was chosen for the Credentials Committee.
The appointments were recommended by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. LGBT delegates on the Platform Committee represent 16 percent of the total, the largest percentage in the convention's history, according to the DNC. |
