KY Young Dems convention next week to feature VP’s sister

The annual convention of the Kentucky Young Democrats next week in Lexington will feature Valerie Biden Owens, the sister of Vice President Joe Biden. 

From a release from the KY Young Democrats – 

Owens has run every campaign for her older brother during his 37-year political career. She is the executive vice president of Joe Slade White and Company, a strategic consulting firm. Owens also serves as a volunteer political trainer for Women’s Campaign International, a non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment of women in the world’s emerging democracies, and she currently serves on the national board of the Democratic National Committee Women’s Leadership Forum. 

“The 2008 election ignited an interest in politics for many young Democrats across the Commonwealth. Our organization is growing faster than ever because of people like Valerie and those who worked on the Obama-Biden campaign,” said KYD President Chad Aull. “We’re offering several opportunities for these Young Democrats to meet and hear Valerie and to become more involved through our many chapters across the state.”

The convention will be Friday and Saturday at Lexington Children’s Theatre and the Kentucky Horse Park, with Owens schedule to speak at the theater on Friday night.
