SALT LAKE CITY (AP)—An aspiring politician from Utah who is barely old enough to vote is headed for the Democratic National Convention.
Jordan Apollo Pazell of Copperton will be one of the youngest delegates at the national convention next week in Denver. But he isn’t quite the youngest. Pazell is already 18 and two other delegates are 17-year-olds who will turn 18 by Election Day.
Pazell says his interests are a little unusual for most 18-year-olds. He says for fun, he gets involved in politics.
Pazell worked on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign and then for a Utah candidate running for the Legislature.
