Said Valley student coordinator Ali Diaz, a high school junior: “Today was proof that young voters will have a big voice in the 2008 elections. I’m excited to be voting in my first caucus – I get to play a part in deciding who the next president of the United States will be tonight, and that’s an amazing feeling.”
