Hi, this Woodring and I have some good news.

It is believed that Evelyn Garcia may be the first Haitian-American to be elected as a member of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

If you were watching the 2008 Presidential Elections like I did, you probably heard a lot about "Pledged Delegates" and "Superdelegates."

Guess what, Evelyn Garcia was one of the "delegates" at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

"Superdelegate" is an informal term used by the media to refer to unpledged delegates. Pledged or unpledged, the proper term is "Party Leaders and Elected Official (PLEO) delegate."

This is not "Politics 101" but, since our Haitian-American sister, Evelyn Garcia, is a part now a part of it, I figured I would give you the 411 about  the DNC.

Eske-w konprann?

There's more good news, Evelyn Garcia is also one of the subscribers of the Haitian Internet Newsletter... How'd you think I found out?... :)

With President Obama as the First Black President, With Haitian-American Patrick Gaspard as President Obama's Political Director at the White House, and with Haitian-American Evelyn Garcia at the DNC, I can tell you this much...

American politics is becoming very interesting for Haitian-Americans these days..

Congratulations to Evelyn Garcia, and welcome the Haitian Internet.
