The Fourth Congressional District Democrats announced their official list of delegates to represent the district at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., in September.
On Monday, Democrats proudly declared their list of delegates “might be the most diverse, racially and ethnically, of any delegation from anywhere else in the country.” We’re not sure if they checked that against the more than 400 other delegations going to the convention, but the group’s diversity shouldn’t be understated either.
Here’s the list of delegates:
Ken Caylor, Othello
Lorrie DeKay, White Salmon
Jeremie Dufault, Yakima
George Fearing, Richland
Jon Ferguson, Ellensburg
Karen Kelerman, East Wenatchee
Elizabeth Mendoza, Yakima
Rosalinda Mendoza, Yakima
Dennis Montes, Nespelem
Teri Staudinger, Pasco
Mary Stephenson, Yakima
Brad Taylor, Prosser
Matt Tomaskin, Parker
C’Ann Kariones, of the Colville Nation, and Juan Orozco, of Yakima, have been named as alternate delegates.
