It instantly became a convention classic and the man at the center of the Democratic roll call/dance party is a Rice Lake native. Jason Rae has been politically active since joining the Barron County Democratic Party at age 17. Now he serves as secretary to the national party and to the Chicago convention. He said a group had been talking for months about ways to reimagine the ceremonial roll call of states that nominated Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
