Sumac Milwaukee Bucks thats while stadium, 2020 it will be used for the main site for the democratic convention. A six to seven week process to transform this arena into the main stage for the Democratic National convention. The challenges for this i think, its a lot of moving pieces. I think you have a lot of moving parts, and Everyone Needs to be in the same page and working together to ensure that nothing goes wrong. This at playing on the base stage, four super bowls in four days. There at no real rule room for errors to make a lot of mistakes. There are people who are scared about the size of milwaukee. We have not had a convention of the size ever. I think its politically smart because i think a lot of midwesterners felt like this at flyover country. That mightve been the kind of appeal that our current president had. This will be one of the first in the midwest and i think thats very important. Politics and geography make a difference. Certainly while the choice of the Convention City does not guarantee anything, i think this at a message around where democrats are investing. We understand and move that in order to win in 2020, we need to be investing in america. Will you be here in wisconsin, and michigan, pennsylvania, ohio, and the choice of milwaukee i think really helps send that message. One of the places where Labor Movement at so much under threat from republicans was born, right here in milwaukee innervate you community. People shed blood and died fighting for the eight hour workday. Its a place where just recent times, it has been turned into a right to work state. Our history of Community Engagement and sharing at something i think at important to brag about. We are a very diverse community. One of our challenges at to make sure that thats not something that just rolls off of our tongues. We actually have minority participation in the economic benefit of this convention. One of the things we are most proud about at that almost all of the workers were from milwaukee from wisconsin. We are hoping for similar success were talking about transforming for the Democratic National convention. We want this thing to be built and made in milwaukee where he are looking forward to accomplishing that. So the process we raise between half million million dollars. Then the convention will be about 70 million. A significant jump in funds from the process of the convention but this at something where the money that we raise at all going back into the local economy. What we look at for Something Like this at yes, 70 million at a lot of money to raise but that is for 200 million of economic effect to happen within milwaukee and wisconsin. We look at this at a big opportunity to not only infuse money into the local economy but also as a chance to advertise and show off the city. We are city that is fighting back. We lost a lot of industry and we have a lot of poverty in the city. My priority as mayor, not surprisingly at to create founding supporting jobs and to make this a safe city. As much as i love the convention being here, and i do, i cant ask our taxpayers pay it. We are hopeful that this convention along its other conventions will serve to create jobs and hospitality area transportation, and providing a lot of the amenities that are required for a convention. It will people to develop their businesses as well. We want to have small businesses. Have them prosper. We think this at a an opportunity to showcase all that milwaukee has to offer. If in fact we are going to have 200 million of economic benefits, in this community through this convention, we want to make sure that we get 18 percent of those received that we are able to pour back into minority communities including women and lgbt q communities the disabilities communities, at going to take a lot of work to do that. We already move that the restaurants and other venues, hotels, will be filled and they will make their money. But we are looking at creating a portal where people of all kinds of services can sign up and we can find places for caterers, people can provide flowers, cuffs and makeup artists and insurance services, Legal Services that we are making this at one of the things that is going to be a lot of work but it at going to be one of the things that i am leaning on very heavily. This will be the first time in the history of the city and of the state that we will be host to a Major Political Party National convention. The place i am thinking that as it pertains to images at to make sure we have a good place Transportation System that we have making sure we have hotel rooms available, they are certainly opening that as congress has done the past will allocate 50 to 55 million and help us its security costs. What we will do at rely heavily on the Police Department and that will be supplemented by our local sheriff his department a lot of Police Departments in southeast wisconsin but in the histories and indicator, we will be calling on other jurisdictions throughout the nation to her perhaps allow us to use some of their Police Officers to marine this fourday. Because the security sermons are so serious. I move this at something that has been done in the past because we milwaukee, we have taken part in this and some of our Police Officers have gone to other communities where conventions were being held. Federal grant grant at make sure local property taxpayers arent bearing the cost which at a truly national event. Have been privileged to attend four of them in here milwaukee will be my fifth grade these conventions of all in a number of ways, first there is a whole lot more excitement. More events happening its them, hello more enthusiasm i think sometimes. At the end of the day, theres still the same political but that they were when attended by 22004. We work to nominate a candidate, unite behind the platform, and really set the groundwork for the general election. We move a fourday convention isnt going to be the savior but there at going to be a spotlight in the community and at going to be a spotlight on the good things and at also going to be the spotlight on the challenges we have. We want to mobilize people here throughout all of wisconsin. Put our best foot forward and give people here and economic opportunity. It will really prosper in the long run. We need make sure to work its everyone. Both democrats and republicans in the city and state. Along its all of the other groups that are going to be coming in and private businesses to come in to help make this a hole. We have to make sure that we are really buttoned up. We want to come together as a group and put on our convention because again this at going to be our chance to show off milwaukee. To make sure that we are able to show milwaukee the best light. I think that we do do any convention you will have an opportunity to uncover some obstacles in the planning process. I move milwaukee at able to handle the convention thats one of the reasons we were selected. We put our best foot forward and show that weekend overcome whatever obstacles may be a place to really produce what i think will be one of the best Democratic National images we seen.
