Hi Reddit!

We're delegates for Joe Biden, and we're here to answer your questions about the delegates process, the virtual democratic convention, and why we got involved.

This week, Joe Biden accepted the Democratic Party's nomination from Delaware. Democrats across the country have been working for months to plan a safe, successful convention – modernizing the experience, and engaging millions of voters and viewers nationwide. That's exactly what we did and here's our story:

Hi, I'm Victor Shi, a recent graduate of Adlai E. Stevenson High School and an incoming freshman at UCLA where I'll be studying political science. I've been involved in politics since I was in eighth grade, having served as a campaign intern for Congressman Brad Schneider, a fellow for Equal Citizens, and a fellow for the Joe Biden campaign in Illinois. This year, I also got elected as the youngest Joe Biden delegate in Illinois at 17 years old.

Hi folks! I'm Gene Wu, a state representative proudly serving the people of District 137 in the Texas House. I'm serving my fourth term in office where I was appointed to the House Committees on Appropriations and Pensions, Investments ＆ Financial Services. Prior to being elected in 2012, I served as a prosecutor in the Harris County District Attorney's Office. This year, I also got elected as a Joe Biden delegate in Texas.

UPDATE

Thanks to everyone for participating -- great questions -- I hope we can do this again. As always, you can learn more about the Biden-Harris ticket, their positions, and the campaign at JoeBiden.com. Please, please vote! - Victor Shi

Folks, it's been fun. This was my first time doing an AMA on Reddit. (I mostly only lurk on r/Audiophile, r/Miata, and r/Crossout) I'm always happy to answer questions and have honest discussions… it's the whole point of democracy. Please stay engaged. Please get registered to vote. Please help organize. Change doesn't happen without you. If you want Joe and Kamala to do what you want them to do, then you have to help get them elected first!
