Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-9) issued the following statement today after the announcement that Cleveland--along with Dallas, Denver, and Kansas City--will receive an official site visit from the Republican National Committee site selection team for the 2016 convention:
"I am so pleased that Cleveland has made the Final Four.
"Mayor Jackson and others have pursued this opportunity in earnest and we are so proud of the work they've done to showcase a great American city.
"The entire community is firmly behind the effort to host a successful political convention in two years and will certainly roll out the red carpet for the selection team."
