Utah delegate, 18, helps nominate Clinton
Copperton resident calls health care key issue
"I proudly second the nomination of Hillary Clinton on behalf of my two great-grandmothers, Theresa and Kathryn, both Utah residents, and both born before women had the right to vote," said Pazell as he helped to nominate a woman, although in a losing cause.
Pazell, as the third-youngest delegate at the convention, was chosen to help represent the diversity of Clinton's supporters. Clinton was formally nominated by Dolores Huerta of California, a Hispanic, and was also seconded by Denise Williams Harris of New York, one of Clinton's millions of women supporters.
"I am equally proud to be here as the third-youngest delegate and a representative of the many young voters galvanized to action by Hillary," he said. Pazell had taken a year off of school to work for Clinton in Iowa and Nevada.
Pazell, who said he was a "proud representative of the 723 voters of the great mining town of Copperton," told delegates he especially endorsed Clinton because of her drive for universal health care.
"I believe with all my heart that we can and must achieve health care for all as Hillary says 'No excuses, no exceptions, no one left out."'
Pazell said that his speech was written by convention staff based on comments he gave to them earlier. And, no, he was not really nervous. Still the hall was more than half full so more than 10,000 people were present when he spoke (not to mention a few million people watching on cable TV and the Internet).
What was the other "large" crowd he had spoken to before Wednesday?
On behalf of Clinton, he addressed an Iowa caucus meeting last January, "maybe 450 people there," he said.
Clinton said in a written statement about the three chosen to nominate her, "I will forever be proud of the diversity of our delegation. We have delegates ranging in age from 17 to their late 80s, and represent every walk of life and every corner of America. I want to thank them for their support."
