Kansas City withdraws as potential host of 2024 Republican National Convention [View all]

Kansas City has withdrawn from consideration to host the 2024 Republican National Convention as the city already has plans to hold other high-profile events in the coming years.

Mayor Quinton Lucas and Randall J. Landes, interim president and CEO of Visit KC, submitted a letter to the Republican National Committee on Nov. 8 announcing the decision.

Lucas had been invited to present Kansas City as a destination on Oct. 26 at the Interested Cities Day in Washington, D.C, the letter said.

“In follow up to our visit, and after further review of your request for proposal (RFP), we must regretfully and respectfully withdraw our destination, as a potential host city,” the letter said.
