Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman is in Washington D-C, lobbying political party leaders to bring a national convention to the city. Coleman is using his trip to the U.S. Conference of Mayors this week to tell party bosses why their 2016 conventions should be held here. Coleman says hosting one or both conventions would boost the local economy and the city's reputation.
