Barclays one step closer to hosting DNC
Brooklyn has made it to the final three!
The Democratic National Committee announced on Monday, November 24 that New York City – which had centered its application for the event on Barclays Center — is one of the three finalists to host the 2016 Democratic National Convention (DNC).
It’s only appropriate, opined Mayor Bill de Blasio, who lobbied this summer for the event to be held in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. “The story of Brooklyn, the meaning of Brooklyn, the personality of Brooklyn means so much,” he said. “It sends a message about where we all need to go. And this is so powerful.”
