For the third time southwest MO woman serves as DNC delegate

Missouri’s 70 Democratic National Convention delegates are in Chicago to rally the base ahead of the general election. 

They are primed to vote on a party platform and seal their support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to be at the top of the ticket. 

Nanda Nunnelly, of Joplin, is serving as a Missouri delegate for the third time.

Nunnelly told Newstalk KZRG: “We need to go home and be proud of being a Democrat, proud of what our party stands for, and able to talk about what the other party stands for right now. That’s the biggest change. We need to stop being afraid to say, ‘I’m a Democrat.’”

She was a Bernie Sanders delegate in 2016 and was a Biden delegate in 2020.
