The United States has not hosted a session since the Annual Session in Orlando, FL, in the Fall of 2003. The U.S. has never hosted a Spring Session of the Assembly until Dayton 2025.\n\nIn 2022, Turner initiated discussions to bring the NATO Parliamentary Assembly to Dayton, aligning with the 30th anniversary of the historic Dayton Accords. This past spring, alongside Governor DeWine, Congressman Turner officially announced Dayton\u2019s selection as the host city for the NATO Parliamentary Assembly\u2019s 2025 Spring Session from May 23 to May 25, 2025.\n\nTurner has been appointed to NATO PA since January 2009 and has served as Head of the U.S. Delegation since January 2011, when Republicans are in the majority of the U.S. House. Turner served as President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly from November 2014 to November 2016. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Defense & Security Committee of NATO PA.\n\nCongressman Mike Turner reveals the venues for NATO Parliamentary Assembly's 2025 Spring Session alongside Gabriel van Aalst, President and CEO of Dayton Live and Erhardt Preitauer, President and CEO of CareSource.\n\nCongressman Mike Turner responds to questions following announcement of venues.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://turner.house.gov/2024/10/turner-announces-venues-for-nato-parliamentary-assembly-s-2025-spring-session"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6066241078078747, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
