Wasserman Schultz rallies Obama supporters today in Youngstown
YOUNGSTOWN
In 2008, Anthony Nwankwo was among the millions of young people thrilled about the prospects of Democratic candidate Barack Obama becoming president.
That year also marked the first time the Youngstown man cast his vote.
It would be a mistake, however, to assume that four years later, his enthusiasm — much of which is now the result of a possible second four-year term for Obama — has dimmed.
“In 2008, I was energized, and I was 18. I’m just as energized now,” Nwankwo said as he and an estimated 100 other Obama supporters and campaign volunteers gathered Saturday for an hour-long rally at Obama’s downtown Youngstown campaign office at 25 W. Federal St.
The event’s main speaker was Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee chairwoman.
