Each city will be evaluated on how strong of a partnership the DNC can form with the host city, its Democratic values and how well it uses innovative approaches for challenges that come with an event of this size.
“We look forward to celebrating our future nominees on the national stage and highlighting Democrats’ commitment to building a better, safer, and more affordable future for our country,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement.
