2020 democratic national convention
The Milwaukee 2020 DNC Convention committee formally submitted its bid for the city of Milwaukee to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

In the cover letter for the bid, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett wrote:

Milwaukee is prepared to provide a first-class delegate experience and turn the National spotlight on America s fresh coast . Milwaukee is an affordable and easily accessible city, known for our hospitality and our actively engaged corporate community. We have what it takes to make the DNC shine.

On behalf of the City of Milwaukee, I am proud to submit our response to your RFP to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention. You and your team have my personal commitment to do everything possible to make the Convention your best ever.

In a letter of support also included in the bid, U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, wrote:

From our booming downtown, to our incredible diversity, to our beautiful beaches, to our wonderful restaurants, to our unbeatable hospitality, Milwaukee is the perfect place for the Democratic Party to host our Convention.

Milwaukee is the perfect place to host a Convention in July and August. With our temperate weather and great sunshine, there is no other place in America that will be more welcoming and more enjoyable for convention attendees. Our hospitality is unmatched, as is our ability to put on large events. Milwaukee knows how to put on a party and how to make sure every guest is welcomed and well cared for in a safe, yet engaging environment.

Last week, the DNC announced the convention will be held from July 13 16, 2020.

The DNC previously announced Milwaukee is one of eight cities invited to submit proposals.

So far, Houston and Milwaukee have publicly announced they have submitted proposals by the DNC s deadline.

The anticipated next steps for the DNC would be to select finalist cities and have the DNC Site Selection Committee make visits later this summer.

The selection and announcement of the host city is anticipated in next winter or spring.
