Today, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) announced that the Omnibus Appropriations Bill includes $50 million in security funding for the 2016 Republican National Convention (RNC) in Cleveland. Ensuring the safety of convention goers and the Cleveland community is a critical component of the convention planning process, Portman stated. These funds will allow convention organizers and the city of Cleveland to ensure that appropriate security measures are being taken. Im pleased to have worked with Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, Valarie J.

I will continue to work with all involved as we prepare to host the convention and showcase one of Americas great cities. I would like to thank all those involved in helping Cleveland secure the NSSE Grant, which is critical for us to put on the best possible political convention, said Mayor Frank Jackson. I would especially like to thank Ohio Senator Rob Portman, Senator Sherrod Brown and our entire Ohio Delegation, for their leadership and ability to help move this grant through the legislative process in such a timely manner. We look forward to hosting the 2016 RNC in Cleveland. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
