Shah is a first-time delegate at the DNC, along with her father, Devang Shah. Prior to the convention, he told Politico that he will watch the proceedings with his daughter. The Shahs were planning on attending “some of the virtual events hosted by the Maryland state party, such as Zoom speed networking, online watch parties, a trivia night and even a talent show,” Politico said. Devang Shah attended the 2016 Democratic convention as a guest.
