Tyler Sagardoy talks about being a Kentucky Delegate at 2024 DNC
Tyler Sagardoy, a Daviess County resident who attended the 2024 DNC in Chicago last month as a Kentucky delegate, spoke to a group of Democrats at the DCDP Headquarters on Tues September 10.
Calling it "the Super Bowl and Disneyland all rolled into one," Tyler described what he did and what the atmosphere felt like. "Everybody was amped up and you could feel the electricity in the air."
Tyler described how his mornings began at 7am with breakfasts where dynamic speakers would come to talk to the Kentucky delegation. Speakers included top Kentucky Democratic officials like Gov. Andy Beshear, Rep. Morgan McGarvey, and KY Democratic Chairman Colmon Eldridge. Other prominent speakers included MI Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, PA Gov. Josh Shapiro, Gen-Z FL Rep. Maxwell Frost, and TX Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
After the speakers, Tyler visited McCormick Place where Dempalooza and Caucus Meetings were being held. "I met so many people and networked with Democrats all across the country. I learned so much."
Primetime activities were held at the United Center. "The Kentucky delegation sat right under the VIP section. I knew it got real on Monday when I stood up from my seat, turned around, and behind me was actor Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker! All week I was sitting maybe 20 feet from Tim Walz, Doug Emhoff, and the Harris family."
Afterparty activities included parties at famous Chicago landmark and a Boyz II Men concert sponsored by MN Sen. Amy Klobuchar. The nights would end around 1am.
"All in all, I probably only got 16 hours of sleep that week, but if you ask if I would do it again, absolutely. No hesitation."
Owensboro native Hadley Duvall Speaks at 2024 Democratic National Convention
Owensboro native, reproductive rights activist, and Kamala Harris surrogate Hadley Duvall spoke on Monday August 19 during the first night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
In her speech, Ms. Duvall spoke about being raped and impregnated by her stepfather at 12, and how the overreaching laws advocated by Republicans since the Dodds decision (which ended Roe v. Wade) would strip her of her bodily autonomy, force her to make decisions she wouldn't otherwise make, and affect the trajectory of her life. Ms. Duvall understands that there are others like her, and that anti-abortion laws can have cruel consequences for women if exceptions are not made.
In 2023, Ms. Duvall was a spokesperson on reproductive rights for Governor Andy Beshear's reelection campaign. Gov. Beshear also spoke at the DNC later that night.

Local Democratic chairman excited about Harris
By Scott Hagerman, Messenger-Inquirer | July 24, 2024
It’s been a tumultuous few weeks for the Democratic Party, culminating with President Joe Biden deciding not to seek reelection after his cognitive ability was widely questioned, which brought initial uncertainty about who would be on the party’s presidential ticket with the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in less than four weeks.
But Larry Miller, Daviess County Democratic Party chairman, anticipates momentum for the ticket building rapidly, as he pointed to the massive campaign donation haul the party has received in the last two days and the surge of Kamala Harris endorsements from party leaders and donors.
