"Brooklyn seeks to host Democrats" New York Times June 07, 2014
NEW YORK — Brooklyn, a nexus of the new Democratic left that has morphed from working-class enclave to a gritty, global arbiter of cool, will vie to host the Democratic National Convention in 2016, Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York City said Friday.
In a formal bid, the de Blasio administration proposed the Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn’s bustling downtown as the anchor venue for the quadrennial gathering.
A Democratic convention in Brooklyn would be a stark departure from the recent tradition of political parties hosting their conventions in swing states, which can be critical to clinching a national campaign.
“The progressive spirit of New York City has never been stronger or more vibrant than it is today,” the mayor wrote. “We believe that this spirit can energize . . . the Democratic Party and the nation.”
