The Rhode Island Democratic Party announced today that Rhode Island’s delegates to the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina have been certified by the Democratic National Committee and Obama for America.
.

“When we began this process in 2011, we sought to include individuals who reflected Rhode Island’s diversity,” said Democratic Party chairman Ed Pacheco. “We hosted delegate academies across our state to inform Rhode Islanders about delegate selection and we set specific goals to ensure the group we bring to Charlotte represents the Ocean State. In each and every category, we met or exceeded our goals. We are proud to include so many young people, minorities, and members of the LGBT community. We believe this delegation is the most diverse group the Rhode Island Democratic Party has ever sent to the Democratic National Convention.”

The Democratic National Convention will be held September 4-6 at multiple venues in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The list of delegates is as follows:
