SHARE
%THE
NATIONAL
POLITICAL
SPOTLIGHT
%IN A LITTLE MORE
THAN A

DEMOCRATIC
%NATIONAL COMMITTEE
ANNOUNCED
%WEDNESDAY THAT
THE

WOULD
TELL
%YOU
IF
I'M
NOT
VERY
DISAPPOINTED
%IN
THI
S
PROFESSIONALLY AND
%PERSONALLY

HAVE
%HAD SO MUCH
PRIDE
IN
HAVING
%MILWAUKEE CHOSE
TUNE
HOST
TO
HOST
THE
2020
%DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
%THAT WAS
THE FIRST TIME
IN
THE
%HISTORY
OF
THIS CITY AND
STATE
%THAT WE WERE
CHOSEN
TO
HOST A
%MAJOR
POLITICAL
PARTY
%CONVENTION.
%AND I WAS PROUD
O

THAT
BECAUSE%I WANTED
TO
SHOW
OFF
OUR
CITY.
%I
WANTED THE
WORLD
T
O
KNOW
%MILWAUKEE'S STORY.
%I
WANTED
LOCAL
BUSINESSES
T
O
%ENJOY AN
ECONOMIC BOOST.
%AND
OBVIOUSLY
THOSE
%OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOT
GOING
TO
%OCCUR IN
