The presumptive nominees, delegates, party leaders, and reporters will all be there. 

And along with them will be winners of a competition called "Crash the Parties," put on by Fuse and Voto Latino, an organization focused on getting Latinos engaged in the political process.

, a rising senior at UMass Amherst and reporter for the Amherst Wire, will be headed to the RNC, and LA-based actress and TV host Arlene Santana will report from the Democratic Party Convention.
