[TexasTowelie]

For Milwaukee officials and business leaders hoping to bring the 2020 Democratic National Convention to the city, it's not all about turning Wisconsin blue politically.

"I'm here representing the green party," Tim Sheehy, Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce president, said Wednesday during a City Hall news conference to unveil the city's bid.

The convention would be held at the new Milwaukee Bucks arena, which is opening this fall.
