Chairman of the Republican National Committee Mike Duncan was in Minneapolis-Saint Paul on Wednesday, Sept. 12, to participate in the official opening of the convention's headquarters. Speaking to a room full of convention staff and community leaders, Duncan said, "Just under a year from now, our Party will gather here in Minnesota to launch one of the most important campaigns of our lifetime. We’ll have the eyes of the world on us. Americans from Maine to New Mexico, from Hawaii to South Carolina, will be watching...They’re going to be watching as we lay out our vision for a bright future. They’re going to be watching as we talk about our historic principles. And, most importantly, they’re going to be watching as we formally nominate the next President and Vice President of the United States of America."
