Today, Biden for President announced Joe Biden’s guests for the first presidential debate tonight held in Cleveland, Ohio: Kristin Urquiza of San Francisco, California, Gurneé Green of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and James Evanoff Jr. of Cleveland, Ohio.

Gurneé Green is a small business owner from Cleveland Heights who was highlighted during the Democratic National Convention. He owns the Cleveland Heights fashion boutique Chemistry 11. In addition to being a small business owner, Gurneé is a certified healthcare information technologies analyst and mother of two.
