Kayla is a 20-year-old student and evangelical Christian who credits Barack for her newfound interest in the political process. Tonight, she will join Barack backstage before his acceptance speech.
"As a Christian, I have seen it repeated that evangelical Christians are 'required' to vote Republican. When I heard Barack's 'Call to Renewal' speech, I was surprised... This is change I can believe in and many other young, evangelical Christians can believe in, too. For the first time in my life, I got hooked on politics."
She now plans to register to vote so that she can cast her ballot for Barack in November. Among Kayla's top concerns are health care, teacher pay, and the environment. In an effort to convince her mom to become involved in politics, she has brought her to Denver.
Kayla was covered in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, as well as the Rocky Mountain News. Read the articles here and here.
