Houston Chosen as Host City for 2028 Republican National Convention
The Republican Party has chosen Houston as the host city for its 2028 convention, making an unprecedented early decision to secure facilities in a competitive convention industry. The decision was made by the Republican National Committee's 168 members during their summer meeting in Milwaukee. Houston beat out other Sun Belt cities like Dallas, Nashville, Miami, and Jacksonville. The selection comes a year before the GOP's 2024 convention, which will be held in Milwaukee. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, a Democrat, expressed pride in the city's selection and highlighted its diversity and inclusivity.
