Comment on Jay teen among youngest Democratic national delegates

AUGUSTA – Trevor Doiron isn’t old enough to vote until late July. But when he does, he’ll be voting for Hillary Clinton as one of the youngest national Democratic delegates this year. Though his choice surprised many of his friends who are die-hard supporters of Bernie Sanders, Doiron, 17, says he wants to get them on board to defeat presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Doiron, from Jay, with a population of fewer than 5,000 people, says he’s not from a rich family – he’s just a small-town kid from a rural area. “I want to show someone like that has the potential to do great things on the national stage,” he says. Doiron will turn 18 on July 29 – the day after the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia ends. So far, Doiron is the youngest Democratic national delegate, according to the Maine Democratic Party, though that could change after the few remaining states finalize their delegates.
