"The proximity of Charlotte to South Carolina’s York, Chester, Lancaster and Chesterfield counties will make the DNC a certain economic boon for the entire region. We note that the most recent national Democratic Conventions to be held in the southeast were in Miami in 1972 and Atlanta in 1988. We say recent because Charleston, South Carolina hosted the DNC in 1860. To paraphrase a popular phrase, our time has come, again."
U.S. Representatives James E. Clyburn and John Spratt
