Milwaukee Finds Out About Democratic National Convention Next Month

Milwaukee officials say their city wants to host the Democratic National Convention next year more than its competitors, Houston and Miami.  To the two much-larger cities, they say, it’s just another convention.  Milwaukee would be one of the smaller host cities in history, but it has more than seven-thousand hotel rooms within a 15-minute walk of the brand new Fiserv Forum.  Other than Chicago, it has been more than 100 years since a national convention was held in the Midwest.  The final decision is expected in January.
