CHARLOTTE, North Carolina -

She's revered by her fellow Democrats, but is a lightning rod for Republicans.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not just a congresswoman from Florida, she's also the chair of the Democratic National Committee.

She spent a few minutes with Washington Bureau Chief Jacqueline Policastro.

The Chair of the Democratic National Committee says there's a clear choice in this election. She wants your choice to be President Barack Obama.

Thursday President Obama is going to try to make the case for four more years.

13abc will have team coverage of the Democratic National Convention with the real stories behind the issues and analysis and detailed reports from our media partner The Blade.
