Youthful and energetic Mayor Fenty of Washington D.C. spoke to Law Students for Barack this past week, hosted by George Washington Law.
It’s fantastic to see a group of busy law students gather together to support Barack and learn about his exciting race for the presidency. About 70 students came out for this event, which included a panel discussion on next generation leadership. The panel included Mayor Fenty, former assistant attorney general Robert Raben, GW Law School Professor Spencer Overton and general counsel to Sen. Barack Obama, Michael Strautmanis.
Mayor Fenty, like Senator Obama, is a rising star. Fenty is one of the youngest mayors of a major American City (he was only 35 when elected!) He knows what we know, that it is time for new leadership in Washington and he had this to say of why Barack should be the Democratic nominee for President:
“America is at a "watershed moment" where a leader can set a new bar for the government as well as the country.”
Great work Law Students for Barack Obama and especially to National Director, Josh Teitelbaum, who organized the event!
