Carissa Snedeker couldn't be more excited about her upcoming trip. She's one of dozens of Democratic delegates headed to Philadelphia from Washoe County.
"I am super excited!" said Snedeker. "Not just for the convention but for meeting Hillary Clinton again and for being with all the other Democrats that will be there. I really think it will be a united group and it will be so much fun!"
Snedeker has worked hard to become a delegate. She was at the caucuses and the county convention and says it was a  lot of work, but worth it.Â
"I'm expecting to see cooperation and unity. This is a progressive platform, a really progressive platform. But I feel like we'll see that we can come together and come out of this ready to go!"
Fred Lokken who teachers Political Science at TMCC predicts a calmer convention than the Republicans had in Cleveland, but says there will be things to watch for over the next week.Â
"I'm sure this will be a more recognizable convention. The Republicans are clearly split and broken. Their talent stayed home and so did their money. So with the speakers it was like a family album. The Democrats will have their star power there so it will no doubt be more entertaining and brighter and cheerier and they'll say they see the problems but they have the talent to find the solutions," Lokken said.Â
Nevada is sending 44 delegates. There will be a total of 6-thousand there in Philadelphia for the convention that runs through Thursday.
