Fox 32 Chicago, August 2024
There are nearly 4,000 Democratic delegates from all over the country attending the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. While most of them are political veterans, Fox 32’s Dane Placko found one delegate from the north suburbs who’s still a teenager and voting in her first presidential election.
“I’ve met so many cool people,” said 19-year-old Claire Satkiewicz. “And to be able to see some of my favorite political leaders speak like Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders yesterday was very cool.” Satkiewicz, who was raised in Northbrook, is about to begin her sophomore year at Northeastern University in Boston. Luckily, classes don’t start until next week because she is attending the DNC as Illinois’ youngest delegate.
