Kansas Republican Party Chairman Kelly Arnold and Missouri Republican Party Chairman Ed Martin issued a joint statement on the Kansas City site visit by the Republican National Committee, (RNC).

“Tomorrow’s visit by RNC is the first step of many we count on seeing in Kansas City. The opportunity to host an event of this magnitude is giant step for Republicans and one not seen in forty years,” said Kansas GOP Chairman Kelly Arnold.

Chairman Kelly continued, “We are the heartland of America and we have good people who are ready to serve and make this event happen.”

“Given the opportunity to address the delegates on the floor of Kemper Arena, President Reagan gave us a glimpse of what the future could be,” said Missouri GOP Chairman Ed Martin. “That is why we are calling for Republican across the Midwest to send a statement to the RNC by volunteering their time ahead of 2016. Proving the groundswell of support Kansas City has to host the Republican Nation Convention.

“We are a county founded on the idea that opportunity is not limited. We have an extraordinary opportunity before us and we plan on capturing it and securing Kansas City’s place in history.”

The RNC will make its first formal visit to Kansas City on Friday, April 25, 2014. A final decision on host for the Republican National Convention is expect later this summer.
