GOP to host 2028 Republican National Convention in Houston.
The Republican National Committee Chooses Houston as Host City for 2028 Convention
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has made an exciting announcement, selecting Houston, Texas, as the host city for the 2028 Republican nominating convention. This decision was made by the 168 members of the national committee during a meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, following the first 2024 Republican debate held in the same city.
The dates for the 2028 convention have yet to be released, but it is expected to take place in either July or August of that year.
“I am excited to announce Houston as the host city for the 2028 Republican National Convention,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. “After a smart business decision made by the RNC last spring to allow us to select the next convention city earlier than ever, we are looking forward to seeing Houston in the spotlight come 2028. The entire RNC membership is eager to work with Governor Greg Abbott, Mayor Sylvester Turner, the Houston Host Committee, and Houston First Corporation to follow in Milwaukee’s footsteps by delivering an incredible convention for our Party.”
This announcement comes a year before the 2024 nominating convention in Milwaukee.
Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) warmly welcomed the decision, praising Houston for embodying all the great attributes of the Lone Star State.
“I am proud to welcome the 2028 Republican National Convention to Houston — one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, a thriving center of economic development, and a cultural leader of Texas,” Abbott said. “Houston showcases all the things that make Texas great: a strong business environment, record-breaking job growth, and a hub of entertainment and tourism. Texas thanks Chairwoman McDaniel and the RNC for choosing Houston to host the 2028 convention.”
Houston emerged victorious over other strong contenders such as Dallas, Nashville, Miami, and Jacksonville. This selection was made possible by a rule change that allows the committee to choose the host city up to six years in advance, recognizing the need to secure venues and hotels amidst competition from other major conventions and events.
“Today’s announcement is a historic step for the Republican Party, and the beginning of a successful partnership between the city of Houston, the state of Texas, and the Republican National Committee,” said RNC Site Selection Committee Chairwoman Anne Hathaway. “Republicans will stand united in Houston in 2028 as we execute a memorable convention in the Lone Star State.”
The RNC’s 2024 convention will be held in Milwaukee from July 15 through July 18.
