ORP Chairman Matt Borges
Republican convention to come to Cleveland

Greetings!

Ohio received huge news today. The 2016 Republican National Convention is coming to our state. Just before noon this morning the Site Selection Committee recommended Cleveland as the host city to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Today's announcement is the culmination of months of hard work by the Cleveland Host Committee, our elected officials, RNC members, and many others who showcased our great state.

I especially want to thank Governor Kasich, Senator Portman, and Speaker Boehner for their work to bring the Convention here. It wouldn't have happened without them. I also want to thank our RNC Committeewoman Jo Ann Davidson and Committeeman Bob Bennett. It is such a thrill to know that the next Convention will practically be in Bob's backyard. Congratulations. Lastly, I want to thank Cuyahoga County Chairman Rob Frost for his work to land the convention. Great things are happening in Ohio thanks to our Republican team.

With today's announcement Cleveland enters into formal negotiations with the RNC. The RNC should then officially select Cleveland as our 2016 host at the RNC's August meeting in Chicago. There's a lot of work left to do between now and August, and then even more to do before the Convention comes. We've shown though that we can do it.

We will send out more details about how to get involved and volunteer as they become available.

Of course, 2016 won't matter without a strong 2014. Winning in '16 means winning this year and building the political infrastructure we need to be successful in the years ahead. This year's elections need to remain our top priority. Today's good news is just a reminder of how important Ohio is to our nation's politics.

Onward to Victory!

Matt Borges
Chairman, Ohio Republican Party
