Tonight, the 88th anniversary of women earning the right to vote, Hillary Clinton will be speaking at the convention. Meet Betty Johnson, one of Senator Clinton's delegates:
Betty Johnson of Lincolnville has traveled to the Democratic National Convention as a Hillary Clinton delegate for Maine. Mrs. Johnson is a retired nurse and small business owner who runs an educational toy store in Belfast. She became active in Democratic politics in 1992, and has been active in Waldo County and Maine State politics. She has six children and five grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. A longtime supporter of President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton, Mrs. Johnson will work hard to elect Barack Obama as President. “This is an historic Convention and campaign, and I am so grateful to be a part of it,” said Mrs. Johnson. “Here in Denver, there is a huge amount of energy and enthusiasm for our nominee, Barack Obama. He understands the challenges Mainers face and is offering the change that we need on issues like health care, social security, and the cost of energy. I will do everything I can to elect Barack Obama and the rest of our candidates this November.” Maine has a diverse and committed delegation that represents the strength, commitment, and energy of the Democratic Party here in the Pine Tree State.
